    What fields are you importing? Do you have the Lookup mapping info during import? box checked?

    It would help if you gave an example of the data you are importing for that field. Geo code 1 is expecting a coordinate eg 25.0421407

It seems to mean you are trying to import the latitude (or longitude, never remember) of your contact. Do you really have a column that contains that?

Sometimes, the suggestion to map your columns in the csv file and the fields in civi aren't correct, check that you aren't trying to import a completely unrelated "code" column into that "geo code +" field.

Your easiest bet to see what's the expected format of each of the fields is to export a few contacts from civi and include these fields, so you can see how you need to format them on your own file.
