Can you try creating the index and inserting documents in [console](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/console-kibana.html)? What do your failed commands look like?

You should be able to insert [geo\_points](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) with the following commands

```auto
PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_point"
      }
    }
  }
}

PUT my_index/_doc/1
{
  "text": "Geo-point as an object",
  "location": { 
    "lat": 41.12,
    "lon": -71.34
  }
}

```
