Hello,

There are 2 different fields in my index:

location - geo\_point  
distance - long (we use as km)

In kibana maps I would like to visualize:

location field as a center of the circle or polygon  
distance field is the radius of that circle

I have multiple documents so there will be multiple different circles with different radiuses.

Is there a way to visualize them in Kibana maps?

Something like this: [Screenshot-from-2023-04-30-01-14-41 hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB](https://ibb.co/YdXm2gM)

Hi @Ulpcan

Your going to need to convert those points and radii on ingest see here
