Hello everyone,
I am new in ELK community. I have recently discovered ELK and currently going through a massive learning process. I encountered one issue that I cannot resolve. Please help! I am trying to visualize some of the log data by creating a coordinate map in Kibana. I seem to have all the data parsed correctly and all the fields I might need for it, however I keep getting this error message. I am attaching two screenshots. One of them is the message I am getting and another is a sample data points which I am using for my visualization. I am using Kibana version 5.6.1

Hi @Barushka,
Can you check your mappings for your index? GET balboa\*/\_mapping. I see this similar post that may help: [No Compatible Fields: types: geo\_point](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/no-compatible-fields-types-geo-point/137151).
Regards,
Liza

Hi @ [Liza\_Dayoub](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/Liza_Dayoub),
I did and here is what I got. Does it mean I have to create mapping? If so, how can I do it. I have never done it before. 🙈

Hi @Barushka,
Yes looks like a mapping does not exist. Can you try something like:
PUT blabla
{
"mappings": {
"\_doc": {
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "geo\_point"
}
}
}
}
}

@Barushka
Please execute
```auto
GET rigcloud_access_log_event
```
That will get us the details about the index, including its mapping.
Thanks!

@Barushka, please copy and paste the full response. So far it looks like there are no `geo_point` mapped fields anywhere in that index.

Here is more. I cannot post all of it. It is too long and this website does not allow me to do so.

If that index has no `geo_point` fields, does the index pattern from which you are trying to build the visualization include this index? If there are no `geo_point` fields, that is your problem.
Here are some docs on index patterns: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-define-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-define-index.html)
If the index DOES have `geo_point` fields, and they are mapped as such (i.e. `"type": "geo_point"`), then you need to reload your index pattern so that it can recognize the field mapping.
See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-patterns.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-patterns.html) Near the bottom explains reloading. The little "refresh" looking button between the star and delete buttons should reload the pattern given the selected indices and their field capabilities.
