That’s not valid syntax. You are passing your data objects to the insert method incorrectly. If you look at your code, you basically have this:

MyCollection.insert(object1, object2, object3);

If you look at the docs for insert, you will see that only object1 contains data to be inserted. The others are completely unexpected and you are probably getting errors in your console.

You could insert those three locations as an object, something like:

MyCollection.insert({
  location1: { lat: 21.1458, long: 79.0882 },
  location2: { lat: 25.4358, long: 81.8463 },
  location3: { lat: 25.3176, long: 82.9739 }
});

I also think you may not have understood export or how your code should be structured to do what you want, in which case it may be more helpful to outline your requirement in more detail.

Good luck :slight_smile:
