Define spatial field: geometry (as Edm.GeographyPolygon)

[123SurpriseME]

I would like to highlight that Edm.GeographyPolygon is no longer a valid field type in Azure Cognitive Search. The correct type for spatial data is Edm.GeographyPoint for points or Edm.String with special handling for polygons.

This is the JSON code that I have added to the JSON index in Azure which is accepted:
