Hello experts,  
I am a newbie to Elastic Maps. I have 3 dimension multiple geo\_points i.e. lat, lon & timestamp. I would like to plot the co-ords in Maps and timestamp to be displayed in tool tip. Somehow i could not get the timestamp in tooltip. I don't know want is wrong. pls help

Elastic version : 7.5.1 Kibana version : 7.5.1

```
Elastic Mapping:
 "route": {
            "properties": {
                "coords": {
                    "type": "geo_point"
                },
                "timestamp": {
                    "type": "text",
                    "fields": {
                        "keyword": {
                            "type": "keyword",
                            "ignore_above": 256
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
Sample data:
 {
"route": [
        {
            "coords": [
                132.35673166666666,
                34.381421666666675
            ],
            "timestamp": "1574058343449148"
        },
        {
            "coords": [
                132.35688,
                34.38138
            ],
            "timestamp": "1574058344444382"
        },
        {
            "coords": [
                132.35702833333335,
                34.38133666666667

            "timestamp": "1574058345443957"
        }

Have you tried creating individual documents per element of `route` from an array?

In your browsers dev tools, can you open the network tab. You should see a request to fetch the tooltip fields when you mouse over a marker. What does this request return?

Hello,

I tried creating individual documents for each co-ordinates of a route (array). I could get the tool tip with timestamp as you mentioned. Ex:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/b/1b9bd70d63985d763a12ef4fb02edbf10a18d071.png)

If we create individual documents for each co-ordinates of a route, I am bit worried about the scalability as I have million of routes with each route has approx 500 - 1000 co-ordinates. whats your view ?

Thanks for your support !!!

I do not think there is a performance difference from storing objects in an array vs breaking those objects into multiple documents. In either case, Elasticsearch is indexing the properties of objects in the array, [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/array.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/array.html).

You need to map the field as [date](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/date.html) in order for Kibana to treat the field as a date and format the the value as expected.

ok, I will go ahead with breaking co-ords and index as separate documents with field as date, Many thanks for your support.
