I'm trying to visualize a count of docs by country code (ie count per country on maps) however whenever I try to do this the maps visualization plugin says I don't have an index with a geospatial data field. Is there an easy way around this or do I need to somehow convert my country code (currently stored as a string) to a geo\_point or similar? I am using ES/Kibana 7.8. ---
