What is needed for Geographical coordinates field type? Is it only usable with Google maps?
I am trying to use a geographical coordinates and I am able to generate and compile without errors.
However there are problems reindexing with the logging options.
And I can't save in the form. It appears this on the errlog:
.
The statement has been terminated.

Unfortunately the geography field is not compatible with the 'Log trigger' functionality. Like the error says, Sql Server does not implement comparability between two geography fields, so logging triggers cannot determine when the field changes to log it.
You need to turn off that field from the 'Log trigger' set.
As for your second question: Yes, geography fields can only be displayed as google maps or as a raw input field (just a string that represents latitude and longitude). Using raw fields however is a bad idea, because you have to follow the correct syntax precisely by writing explicitly POINT(lat, long). Using a google maps field for editing is much safer.
The image with the error is unreadable. Make sure you reindex the database successfully first.
You are likely writing the point in the incorrect format. I edited my answer.

Thank you for your answer, but can you help in why I can't save the record?
