Created a lookup file with static Latitude and Longitude for 2 countries and used this search:

| inputlookup test_geo_db | geostats count

But I can't see map plotted with it?

What are the field names for latitude and longitude in the lookup test_geo_db

If you have not used the arguments latfield and longfield along with geostats it assumes default latitude and longitude fields as lat and lon respectively. Refer to Splunk documentation for proper use of geostats.

you have to pass file names same as the lookup file i.e.

| inputlookup test_geo_db | geostats latfield=latitude longfield=longitutude

Can you please share the results of | inputlookup test_geo_db? and if you could tell us what do you see as the result if you can't see the map it would be helpful. Thanks.

I do not see any points on the MAP
