I have set my mapping to accept geo data in geo\_shape field, geo\_shape field is able to draw shapes on kibana map.  
But when i try to store geo\_point shape in geo\_shape field then kibana map is not able to draw poiint shape in map.

shape is field name of geo\_shape data type, it can hold any shape i.e. polygon, linestring, point etc.  
Kibana map is able to draw polygons, linestrings, but not able to draw points, do i am missing some settings in kibana to draw points in kibana map.  
Again i am clearing from my side, my field's data type is geo\_shape and it is stroing information about geo\_point and i would like to draw them in kibana map.

I know there is another data type in elasticsearch i.e. geo\_point, if i use that then i am able to draw points in kibana map. but in my case my field can have any shape i.e. polygon, linestring, point etc. and i would like to draw them in kibana map.

Hi @galvin1234, just to be sure. Are you storing [geo\_point](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) data or [geo\_shape](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-shape.html) points in your documents?

Can you share a simple query with your data? Something like this:

```auto
GET your_index/_search
{
  "_source": "your_geo_shape_field",
  "size": 3, 
  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  }
}

```

Just as a quick check, I imported a geojson point dataset as `geo_shape` using the GeoJSON upload tool and everything worked fine.
