I am using mongoengine with Django Below is my Model class

class MyLocation(EmbeddedDocument): my_id = IntField(required=True) lat = GeoPointField(required=False) updated_date_time = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.utcnow)

I suggest using the names when you save the location. Since class definition does not include how you put in these keys that is why we need to use the name to define them.

def store_my_location():
    loc = MyLocation(my_id=1, lat=[30.8993487, -74.0145665])
    loc.save()

This should work.

One more appraoch is to write everything in MyLocation class.

class MyLocation(EmbeddedDocument):
    my_id = IntField(required=True)
    lat = GeoPointField(required=False)
    updated_date_time = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.utcnow)

    def create(my_id,lat):
      location=MyLocation(my_id=my_id,lat=lat)
      location.save()
      return location

def store_my_location():
    loc = MyLocation.create(1,[30.8993487, -74.0145665])
