alright @Badger - got it working. It bugged the crap out of my that your dummy sample worked - but didn't work with my real config. I then did a lot of forum searching on the error message returned now and found this: [Errors with geo\_point](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/errors-with-geo-point/60904/3).

From that, deleted my old index, put my mapping and then ingested and boom 🙂

What a pain in the ass.

Thank you so much for helping.
