Hi there , Im following the blog post [How to map custom boundaries in Kibana with reverse geocoding | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-map-custom-boundaries-in-kibana-with-reverse-geocoding) and trying to import the csa geojson file i converted (using FME). Somehow at the end of the import nothing shows up ... during the import and index creation i can visualize the data but in the end it blows ... layer is not added , greyed 'add layer' btn and nothing shows in map ... when looking at the indice created it has with zero docs and no pattern available. im using BASIC one single-node 7.1.1 es and kib. Many thanks , Jorge ---

How are you loading/ ingesting? Can you post your mappings and perhaps a small geojson shape? ---

hi @jvidin , the blog post uses the `cb_2018_us_cbsa_500k.zip` shapefile from the Census Bureau website ([https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2018/shp/cb\_2018\_us\_cbsa\_500k.zip](https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2018/shp/cb_2018_us_cbsa_500k.zip)) I used QGIS to convert it to geojson. See [csba · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/thomasneirynck/3813ddde31052b6b58b458ec2a86f81f) You can upload this into Maps using the "upload geojson" functionality. ---

Thanks @thomasneirynck , So i find that the issue observed is when trying to load the county layer not the cbsa from tutorial. The ofender is 'cb\_2018\_us\_county\_500k' after shp to json using both FME or QGIS, kibana or the file-upload-plugin dislikes some of the polygons aparently, and all seem to be OGC valid. ```auto File parse error(s) detected: Error: Some features without geometry omitted Formats accepted: .json, .geojson Max size: 50.0 MB Coordinates must be in EPSG:4326 coordinate reference system. ``` > Regards ---

What about this file, after the QGIS conversion: [csba · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/thomasneirynck/3813ddde31052b6b58b458ec2a86f81f) ---

Hi , All fine.. there is no issue after exporting the cb\_2018\_us\_cbsa\_500k.zip to geojson from qgis and after doing the upload GeoJson in Kibana. Thanks ---
