Hello,

I need to create a kibana dashboard with a coordinate map.  
I import data from a mysql database with latitude and longitute.  
But I can't create a field type "geo\_point", and after a long search I come to ask you for help.

thank you.

Unless your field is called geoip you will need a template that defines your field to be a geo\_point. [This](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/location-dosent-convert-to-geo-point/131199/4) thread might help you. (The details of mappings have changed a little since I wrote that.)

`Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [_default_ : {properties={location={type=geo_point}}}]`

That's now an elasticsearch question. I cannot test this but I think it would now be

```
{
  "index_patterns": ["someIndex*"],
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_point"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

If that does not work I would head over to the elasticsearch forum and ask what the mapping should look like.

Not sure, I would take it over to the elasticsearch forum.
