Good morning, I'm trying to visualize geoshapes using beta 7.0. I am following the information of the link: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-shape.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-shape.html)  
A geoshape is composed of a type and coordinates, following the example of the link for points, after copying exactly the example code and then changing the type of the location field to geo\_shape in the mapping as it comes in the link, I get an error. I attach the code that I have put:

PUT / examplee  
{  
"mappings": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_shape"  
}  
}  
}  
}

POST / exampleee / \_doc  
{  
"location": {  
"type": "point",  
"coordinates": [-77.03653, 38.897676]  
}  
}

Once I do that and I create the index pattern in kibana, to the right in aggregations nothing appears to me. What I pretend is in the section visualizations, region map, select the location of the figure and be able to visualize it.

A thousand thanks in advance!

`geo_shape` field does not support any kind of aggregations yet.

If you want to visualise geo data, you can only do it for points and the points should be indexed using a field of type `geo_point`.
