Hi @Noorali ,

Geospatial data type support was added to the new data preparation experience back in May 2026. Please refer to this previous community post on how to implement it into your dataset:

Geospatial on new datasets? Launched May 2026? - Q&A - Amazon Quick Community

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
