Hi,
i have found some threads on this topic on Kibana 4.x version nothing on 5.3.
Is there a fix for this?

I don't understand what you are asking. This looks like an index template, so presumably your index mappings will have a `location` field of type `geo_point`. Is the mapping in Elasticsearch not being set correctly or something?
What's the issue?

Good Morning Joe
I am getting the error;
Field
No Compatible Fields: The "flight-track-\*" index pattern does not contain any of the following field types: geo\_point
On the discover tab I can display many locations.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

My guess is the field mapping isn't right for some reason.
If you look at your index pattern in Management \> Index Patterns, what type does it say the field is?
If it doesn't say `geo_point`, that's the issue. Take a look at the mappings in Elasticsearch, via `GET /flight-track-*/_mapping`, make sure that all of the `location` fields in _every index_ is of type `geo_point`.

Hi Joe, you are correct.
I am setting
,
"location": {
"type": "geo\_point"
but Kibana\>Management\>index patterns show location = string
location string
I must have something wrong with my conf files.
Thanks for increasing my understanding of Kibana
