I am following practices below;

I am using both Elasticsearch & Kibana version 6.2.1

> **[Loading Sample Data | Kibana User Guide \[6.3\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.3/tutorial-load-dataset.html)**

I followed instructions as below;

But, I am getting following error:

> No Compatible Fields: The "logstash\*" index pattern does not contain any of the following field types: geo\_point

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/6/36fb80f0841caca3ca7f5ab3ffe565e7db968a9b.png)

Am I missing something here? How can I resolve this error?

What gives:

```
GET logstash-*/_mapping
```

Hi @dadoonet

Here is the output: [https://gist.github.com/reyou/40ab77b390f9d7e16bf6d27bb180654f](https://gist.github.com/reyou/40ab77b390f9d7e16bf6d27bb180654f)

Did you look at it?

```auto
          "geo": {
            "properties": {
              "coordinates": {
                "properties": {
                  "lat": {
                    "type": "float"
                  },
                  "lon": {
                    "type": "float"
                  }
                }
              },

```

We can clearly see that your mapping is wrong here.

I see. I don't know what would went wrong while I initially PUT mappings.  
So should I delete and re-create?

I deleted my logstash\* indexes. Then first created mapping, and run following command;

`Invoke-RestMethod "http://localhost:9200/_bulk?pretty" -Method Post -ContentType 'application/x-ndjson' -InFile "./sampleDatas/logs.jsonl"`

And here is my `GET logstash-*/_mapping` again:

> <https://gist.github.com/reyou/a0b77761ac3bfd0c2df41fc909c4b62a>

And when I try to create Coordinate map by following example, I am still getting same error.  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.3/\_coordinate\_map.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.3/_coordinate_map.html)

Is there anything I can try?

What are inputting when you create the mapping? For geo\_point to work you need something such as

```
PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "properties": {
        "location": {
          "type": "geo_point"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

OK After I delete/create index and restart kibana, it is picking up the value. Thanks!
