Using Kibana 7.0.beta1, with the new and marvelous Map app.
I am able to add layers using elasticsearch indexes containing geo\_point, but when I try to add a simple Linestring using geo\_shape, I can not see it.
The document I try to use looks like this:
```
POST gps_test/_doc/1
{
"poslist":
{ "type": "LINESTRING",
"coordinates": [[10.491832, 59.941252],[10.491833, 59.941252],[10.491898, 59.941263]]
}
}
```
And the mapping of poslist is of type geo\_shape, with nothing extra.
Checking the response, I see an error. Trying out the query in console returns errors as well. The query:
```
GET gps_test/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"1": {
"geo_bounds": {
"field": "poslist"
}
}
},
"_source": {
"excludes": []
},
"stored_fields": [
"*"
],
"script_fields": {},
"docvalue_fields": [],
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [],
"filter": [
{
"match_all": {}
}
],
"should": [],
"must_not": []
}
}
}
```
Error returned:
```
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "Fielddata is not supported on field [poslist] of type [geo_shape]"
```

hi @Babadofar,
thx for checking out the Maps app in beta. Could you please create an issue for this in the github repo? [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)
Not sure if this is related to the Maps app in Kibana, or to some mapping settings in ES (or both). It will be easier to track this as a bug, than here on the discussion forum. Thanks!
