I think you meant that first convert to be a mutate, but that's not going to work either because you cannot convert to geo\_point. You need an index template that defines your field as a geo\_point. [This](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/location-dosent-convert-to-geo-point/131199) thread might help you.
