I am attempting to create a Map in Kibana, but my index is not available as an option. I have found several posts around this, but the common issue in those cases was that no `geo_point` field is specified in the Index Template, but that is not the case in my situation.

For this particular data source, we are utilizing `host.geo`, `source.geo`, and `destination.geo`. There are actually even more than that defined, but we are only utilizing those three. Each of them are the exact same `geo` template as follows:

```auto
      "geo" : {
        "properties" : {
          "city_name" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "continent_code" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "continent_name" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "country_code2" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "country_code3" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "country_iso_code" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "country_name" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "dma_code" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "location" : {
            "type" : "geo_point"
          },
          "name" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "postal_code" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "region_code" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "region_iso_code" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "region_name" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          },
          "timezone" : {
            "ignore_above" : 1024,
            "type" : "keyword"
          }
        }
      }

```

Essentially, all three `host.geo.location`, `source.geo.location`, and `destination.geo.location` are all defined as `geo_point`, but my index is still not available to be selected in Maps.

EDIT: I can also confirm the Index Pattern is recognizing the fields as `geo_point`:

We are currently running 7.12.0 throughout the stack.

Any assistance with troubleshooting would be much appreciated!

Whelp... disregard this entire post! LOL

I created this index template more than a month ago, and I started indexing data to it about three weeks ago, but the index was not an available option in Maps until [of course] _after_ I made this post. I refreshed the page, and I can select the index now.

Strange...
