Hi !

I am new to this community and would appreciate if someone can help me out.

I started using the elasticsearch and the river-twitter plugin.  
I am trying to use the bettermap on kibana 3 but since the coordinates  
fields  
in the twitter stream is split up into lon and lat fields , it is not  
compatible on kibana.  
When use the raw data for river-twitter , the coordinates fields are just  
fine for the map.

Is there a way in mapping setting to avoid splitting up the coordinates  
field to  
location.lon and location.lat?

I am using kibana 3.1.0 and elasticsearch 1.2.2

My setting for mappings is

```
   "location" : {
     "type" : "geo_point"
   },

```

Thanks,  
Yu
