How to map every event which has a lat and long field?

I have 35 events. Each one has a lat and long field. How do I map each one of them to an individual point on a map? When I use geostats, it keeps trying to throw things into "geo bins".

Make sure you reference the latfield and longfield with geostats:

sourcetype=foo
| geostats latfield=my_laitudet_field longfield=my_longitude_field count

Otherwise, Splunk will just look for fields called lat and lon. As @mtranchita mentioned, make sure you're on the visualizations tab and have selected the appropriate visualization type.

Note where it says "Cluster Map" as the visualization type:alt text

I'm likely misunderstanding the question, but are you looking at the statics tab and not the visualization - or can you change the visualization type?
I think that the example from the command reference shows what you are describing.
