Can maps be plotted using IP address instead of coordinates?
How can I use the IP address to plot a location in a map?

As Krish3 mentioned, you're going to want to use iplocation most likely, and after that, geostats, e.g.:

... | iplocation clientip | geostats count by Country

Above answer is the preferred approach for 6.2 and below.

The new Splunk 6.3 introduced Choropleth Maps as a new visualization type. The new release ships with a geospatial lookup that contains all countries of the world as polygons to show on a map.

Find more information on Choropleth Maps in the Splunk Docs for 6.3.
