Cannot add geo_point type to the mapping template

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,
I'm trying to copy my mapping template from my 5.3 ELK cluster to the new 5.3.2 instance.
Any ideas what this error message is meaning?

TIA, Vitaly

 curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/_template' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @template-new.json
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason" : "unknown setting [index.logstash.mappings._default_.properties.geoip.properties.location.type] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
    "reason" : "unknown setting [index.logstash.mappings._default_.properties.geoip.properties.location.type] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings"
  },
  "status" : 400
}

My template is:

   {
  "logstash" : {
    "order" : 0,
    "template" : "logstash*",
    "settings" : {
      "index" : {
        "number_of_shards" : "1",
        "number_of_replicas" : "0"
      }
    },

    "mappings" : {
      "_default_" : {
       "properties" : {
         "geoip" : {
           "properties" : {
              "location" : {
                "type" : "geo_point"
               }
            }
          }
         }
        }
     },

    "aliases" : { }
  }
}

Can you update your post with code formatting on the response, it's hard to read as is.
Also please show the entire template file.
