Add The SharePoint 2013 Geolocation Column to a Content Type

Quick Tip – The PowerShell code below adds it as a Site Column, once you do that navigate to your custom Content Type and add it from existing site columns.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

$fieldXml = “&lt;Field Type=’Geolocation’ DisplayName=’My Location’ /&gt;”

$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$fieldName = $web.Fields.AddFieldAsXml($fieldXml)
$web.Update()

Cheers,
