HI All, We are trying to create a map visualization in kibana but we dont have latitude and longitude fields, all we have is location name. Is there a possible way to create map with having location name alone? Any suggestions please. Thanks Gautham ---

> Is there a possible way to create map with having location name alone? Converting location name to lat/lon is called [geocoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocoding). The elastic stack does not provide any geocoding capabilities at the moment. It looks like there is a [logstash filter that can provide geocoding](https://github.com/jsvd/logstash-filter-geocoder). You can set up a logstash configuration to enrich your documents with lat/lon using this logstash filter. ---
