Hi @ehfdub

I followed the recents [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) and successfully created an index with geopoint field in Kibana 7.15.1, that was later recognized during index pattern creation in Kibana:

And this how it looks on Discover

What stack version do you use? Can you give it a try manually without logstash? If it will work, then you need to change logstash configuration, you can check the issue example [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/location-to-geo-point-mapping-not-working-with-logtash-and-kibana/160980)
