Hi, I want to know hod can I edit a point on a map clicking on the point then dragging it, and also updating the coordinates of the point. Below is my code, where I create a point using the saved coordinates.

var view = new MapView({

});
var graphicsLayer = new GraphicsLayer();
map.add(graphicsLayer);

// Create a point
var point = {
type: "point",
longitude: 28.159843448357865,
latitude: -26.374449292814024
};
var simpleMarkerSymbol = {
type: "simple-marker",
color: [226, 119, 40], // orange
size: 30,
style: "triangle", // default is a circle
outline: {
color: [255, 255, 255], // white
width: 2
}
};
var pointGraphic = new Graphic({
geometry: point,
symbol: simpleMarkerSymbol
});
graphicsLayer.add(pointGraphic);
});
</script>

Your first example is just a simple Object and does not have a getLatitude method, so yes you have to actually create a new Point as in your second example except like this instead.

var point = new Point({
    longitude: 28.159843448357865,
    latitude: -26.374449292814024
});
