In case someone else lands upon this. If you do "GET \_template/nyc" after putting that, you will find the template has no mappings. Three changes are required. "mapping" should be "mappings" and (as Magnus pointed out in the other thread) "location " needs that space to be removed. "\_default" should be "\_default\_".

This works.

```auto
PUT _template/nyc 
 {
    "order":0,
    "index_patterns":"nyc",
    "mappings":{
      "_default_":{
        "properties":{
          "location":{
            "type":"geo_point"
          }
        }
      }
    }
 }

```
