Hi,  
When I try to create a **visualization** -\> **coordinated map** by using geoip i'm getting below error

"The index pattern \<INDEX\_NAME\>\* does not contain any of the following compatible field types: geo\_point"

 ![geoip error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/f/1f92656d79471315993d52e20df16f3a1b9d72f5.png)

But I'm getting below json out put in Kibana.

```
"geoip": {
  "continent_code": "NA",
  "country_code3": "US",
  "country_name": "United States",
  "longitude": -97.822,
  "location": {
    "lon": -97.822,
    "lat": 37.751
  },
  "timezone": "America/Chicago",
  "latitude": 37.751,
  "country_code2": "US",
  "ip": "104.75.84.8"
},

```

Also when check the Kibana -\> DevTools -\> **GET /\_template/logstash** \* I'm getting below

```
"geoip" : {
      "dynamic" : true,
      "properties" : {
        "ip" : {
          "type" : "ip"
        },
        "latitude" : {
          "type" : "half_float"
        },
        "location" : {
          "type" : "geo_point"
        },
        "longitude" : {
          "type" : "half_float"
        }
      }
    }

```

As per the documentation I should be able to create a Coordinated map. But I'm getting above mentioned error. Can some one help me to sort this?

Thanks in advance!

It's probably because you did not define the right mapping or your query is incorrect and does not use the right field.

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.

I'm highlighting the important part here:

> **A typical script** like this one **can be copied and pasted in Kibana Dev Console** by any reader.

Here we can't just copy, paste and play and it would require some significant work for a reader to reproduce your case.

I think I have provided what I have. Is there anything else that I should share?  
If need can you pls specify?  
Also pls note that I'm getting this error when creating a visualization. (I have inserted the screenshot)

Thanks in advance!

Ok.

What is the output of:

```auto
GET sampath_proxy_elk*/_mapping

```

I think you have the answer here:

```
        "location" : {
          "properties" : {
            "lat" : {
              "type" : "float"
            },
            "lon" : {
              "type" : "float"
            }
          }
        },

```

`location` is not a `geo_point`.

You can't "change" it.  
You need to correctly create your index in the first place. Then you could reindex your existing data.

It mostly depends on what tool you are using to index your data.

Dear,  
I'm using logstash. Shall I share my logstash configuration?

Thanks!

Did you define a mapping for elasticsearch? Or a template?  
I believe you didn't.

You can do that from kibana dev console or from logstash using template parameter. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-template)

Some information about templates: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html)
