I've used a range of resources to try and figure this out. The most useful has been:

- A great guide but the commands don't work with version 7.x: [http://www.sanjeevnandam.com/blog/logstash-convert-zipcodepostal-code-to-geo\_point-latitudelongitude](http://www.sanjeevnandam.com/blog/logstash-convert-zipcodepostal-code-to-geo_point-latitudelongitude)
- Also a great blog. The solution uses GeoIP, an approach I tried to take initially but couldn't get it to work: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/geoip-in-the-elastic-stack](https://www.elastic.co/blog/geoip-in-the-elastic-stack)
- I have used a number of the elastic command references, such as [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.6/plugins-filters-geoip.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.6/plugins-filters-geoip.html) etc.
- I've read so many discussion posts I've not kept track of, some of which were really useful i.e: [ELK 5.2.1 - still can't get geoip working](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elk-5-2-1-still-cant-get-geoip-working/76420). Many of the issues, as far as I can tell, are related to GeoIP rather than generic geo (lat/long) issues.
- Some sites showed me what was possible but without providing step-by-step guides: [https://medium.com/@andrea.reon/elasticsearch-why-and-how-c79a43288a4b](https://medium.com/@andrea.reon/elasticsearch-why-and-how-c79a43288a4b)
- Other blogs looked like they were going to be really useful but are addressing a slightly different problem: [http://www.tapsw.com/software-development-elasticsearch-uk-postcodes.php](http://www.tapsw.com/software-development-elasticsearch-uk-postcodes.php)

I've not managed to find an example of someone creating a mapping for ES 7.x. The resources above mostly show mappings that use types and the `_default_` parameter, which are now obsolete. It likely that my google-fu is rusty, so apologies if anyone reading this has written an article using 7.x, I've just not managed to find it yet.

I have spent a long time looking at Logstash as I thought this is where the problem lay. Now that the latitude/longitude data is available in discover, I wonder whether the issue is related to the index mapping or my understanding of how to generate a geo\_point from Logstash.

My Elasticsearch mapping, if I've understood correctly what a mapping is, is as per my first post:

```
{
  "settings" : {
    "index" : {
      "number_of_shards" : "1",
      "refresh_interval" : "5s"
    }
  },
  "index_patterns": ["cm_delivery_locations"],
  "mappings" : {
    "properties" : {
      "delivery_postcode": { "type": "text" },
      "delivery_date": { "type": "date" },
      "delivery_location" : {
        "dynamic" : true,
        "properties" : {
          "location" : { "type" : "geo_point" },
          "latitude" : { "type" : "half_float" },        
          "longitude" : { "type" : "half_float" }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

If I perform a document layer in Maps, Inspect shows the following request:

```
{
  "docvalue_fields": [
    "delivery_location.location"
  ],
  "size": 10000,
  "_source": false,
  "stored_fields": [
    "delivery_location.location"
  ],
  "script_fields": {},
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [],
      "filter": [
        {
          "match_all": {}
        },
        {
          "range": {
            "delivery_date": {
              "gte": "2017-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
              "lte": "2019-12-31T23:30:00.000Z",
              "format": "strict_date_optional_time"
            }
          }
        }
      ],
      "should": [],
      "must_not": []
    }
  }
}

```

And this response:

```
{
  "took": 38,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 1,
    "successful": 1,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 772,
    "max_score": 0,
    "hits": [
      {
        "_index": "cm_delivery_locations",
        "_type": "_doc",
        "_id": "WeDtuXABDb_U0HpUp96o",
        "_score": 0
      },
      {
        "_index": "cm_delivery_locations",
        "_type": "_doc",
        "_id": "SODtuXABDb_U0HpUp96o",
        "_score": 0
      },
      {

... cut data ...

      }
    ]
  }
}

```

There are no dots shown on the roadmap. Does this mean that the geo\_point coordinates are not being returned correctly? Should I expect to see Lat/Long data in the hits array?

Thanks,
