Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to the ELK stack and looking for some guidance on using some of my data on the tile map.

![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/4cf2fafcb47447ff529ed4172bd673445ba0d981.png)

All of my events already contain Latitude and Longitude data so i'm curious about how I can use these values as a geohash on the tile map instead of the geoip.location data or how I can put these values into the geoip.locaiton field.  
I figure this is a very simple thing to do but i haven't been able to figure anything out.

Thanks for any help!

You'll need to store this as a [geo\_point](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/mapping-geo-point-type.html) field in ES. Should be able to do it using [Logstash](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/set-geo-location-from-coodinates/2762), here is one thread on a similar discussion.
