I am using the [Elasticesearch.net](http://Elasticesearch.net) library instead of the NEST library and am able to input my data except my latitude and longitude are not able to be mapped to a geo\_point in Kibana. All of the examples I can find seem to be talking about NEST though.
Here is a bit of my code...
var settings = new ConnectionConfiguration(new Uri("http://" + ipAddress));
var lowlevelClient = new ElasticLowLevelClient(settings);
// Fill out the pieces here...
foreach (Piece piece in pieces)
{
var asyncIndexResponse = await lowlevelClient.IndexAsync(
"pieces", "piece", piece.PieceID, PostData.Serializable(piece));
}
My piece class looks like this:
public class Piece
{
public string PieceID { get; set; }
public DateTime TimeStamp { get; set; }
public int MachineSerial { get; set; }
public string Location { get; set; }
public string RoutingCategory { get; set; }
public string RoutingString { get; set; }
public int DestinationBin { get; set; }
}
I have tried many of the options this page appears to suggest, but I think I'm missing something:
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html)
Can someone tell me what to do to allow me to input location data using [Elasticsearch.net](http://Elasticsearch.net)?

What do the lat and lon look like on a `Piece` instance? Could you provide a succinct example?
With what you have tried so far, what does [`DebugInformation`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/debug-information.html) show on the response? You can get to this through `response.ApiCall.DebugInformation`, and if you set `.DisableDirectStreaming()` on the request (or globally on `ConnectionConfiguration`), you'll also get the request and response bytes in the debug information.

Russ,
I have tried a few different formats for the piece.
This is what I tried last:
{
"PieceID": "110180403-143925247",
"TimeStamp": "2018-04-03T18: 39: 25.2475097Z",
"MachineSerial": 110,
"City": "Lafayette",
"Location": "40.451587,-86.878911",
"RoutingCategory": "Resolved",
"RoutingString": "01666850339",
"DestinationBin": 11
}
I have tried the location with and without a space.
I have also tried this:
{
"PieceID": "110180403-143925247",
"TimeStamp": "2018-04-03T18: 39: 25.2475097Z",
"MachineSerial": 110,
"City": "Lafayette",
"Location": {
"lat": 40.451587,
"lon": -86.878911
},
"RoutingCategory": "Resolved",
"RoutingString": "01666850339",
"DestinationBin": 11
}
No matter what I have tried, I get this error message in Kibana when trying to make a Coordinate Map:
No Compatible Fields: The "pieces\*" index pattern does not contain any of the following field types: geo\_point
