# GEOADD

> Add geospatial items.

Use `GEOADD` to add longitude, latitude, and member triples to a geospatial index.

Each position is encoded into a 52-bit geohash and stored as the score of the member in a sorted set, so a geospatial key is an ordinary sorted set and commands such as [`ZREM`](/docs/redis/commands/sorted-set/zrem), [`ZCARD`](/docs/redis/commands/sorted-set/zcard), and [`ZSCAN`](/docs/redis/commands/sorted-set/zscan) work on it. Longitude must be between -180 and 180 and latitude between -85.05112878 and 85.05112878; anything outside those bounds returns an error. Adding a member that is already present moves it to the new position, and the encoding means coordinates read back with [`GEOPOS`](/docs/redis/commands/geo/geopos) are very close to, but not exactly, the ones you stored.

`NX` only adds members that are not there yet, `XX` only updates members that already exist, and `CH` makes the reply count every member that changed rather than only the ones that were added.

## Syntax

```redis theme={"system"}
GEOADD <key>
  [NX | XX]
  [CH]
  <longitude> <latitude> <member>
  [<longitude> <latitude> <member> ...]
```

## Arguments

| Argument                          | Required | Repeatable | Description                                                                                                                |
| --------------------------------- | -------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `<key>`                           | Yes      | No         | Redis key targeted by the command.                                                                                         |
| `(NX \| XX)`                      | No       | No         | Choose one form: `NX` (only add new members, never update an existing one); `XX` (only update members that already exist). |
| `CH`                              | No       | No         | Count changed members rather than only new members.                                                                        |
| `<longitude> <latitude> <member>` | Yes      | Yes        | Longitude, latitude, and the member they belong to. Repeat to add several members.                                         |

## Important points

* `NX` and `XX` are mutually exclusive.

## Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.

| Protocol | Reply   |
| -------- | ------- |
| RESP2    | Integer |
| RESP3    | Integer |

<Note>
  Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.
</Note>

## Examples

TCP examples use the TLS `REDIS_URL` from the Upstash console. REST examples use `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL` and `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN`.
