Ok, have you make any progress to start with?

Not in this project, but this feature is implemented in django-elasticsearch-dsl-drf.

Hi @barseghyanartur I was able to resolve a GeoPoint as a InnerDoc, perhaps it could help as starting point

class Place(InnerDoc):
    lat = Float()
    lon = Float()

class User(Document):
    location=Object(Place)

that's how I saw django_elasticsearch_dsl.fields.GeoPointField saves a Point.
