Remember to replace THING_TOKEN with the thing token that you got when you activated your thing.
Magic resource handlers are processed asynchronously: mixing various magic resources in a single request may have an unexpected behavior because order might not be respected.
$geo resource
This resource allows the update of the current thing position in GeoJSON format.
GeoJSON and legacy [long, lat] pairs are accepted as valid input value, or you can use the geo attribute: the final value will be saved in GeoJSON format.
