I do not know. However, it works if you use a dynamic template.

```
PUT _template/nyc 
{
  "order":0,
  "index_patterns":"nyc",
  "mappings": {
   "calls": {
      "dynamic_templates": [
        {
          "locations": {
            "match": "location",
            "mapping": { "type": "geo_point" }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```
