While using Coordinate map visualization, Kibana asks for geo\_hash field type.
Input data is filtered to get latitude and longitude as separate values as well as in as array.
The error - The index pattern access\_log\* does not contain any of the following compatible field types: geo\_point.

`geo_hash` is an aggregation that works only on certain field types. You need to change your.schema for those fields, for example to the `geo_point` type:

Here are some links to how to change the mapping:

Hi Wyile,
Done with that, I forgot to implement mapping on the coordinates to geo\_point.
Now the data type is converted to geo\_point, but the map is not displaying any values. Its just blank.

It sounds like you might not have reindexed the data

No, I have reindexed the data. It displays count of geohash\_grid to be null (-)
