== Connecting to Elastic Maps Service
https://www.elastic.co/elastic-maps-service[Elastic Maps Service (EMS)] is a service that hosts
tile layers and vector shapes of administrative boundaries.
If you are using Kibana's out-of-the box settings, the **Maps** application is already configured to use EMS.
Requests to EMS are made with two methods:
* Requests for tile layer meta data, vector shapes meta data, and vector shapes are proxied through the Kibana server.
* Requests for EMS tiles are made directly from the browser to EMS.
NOTE: The legacy tilemap and regionmap visualizations make requests directly from the browser to EMS.

=== Disabling Elastic Maps Service
You might experience EMS connection issues if your Kibana server or browser are on a private network or
behind a firewall. If this happens, you can disable the EMS connection to avoid unnecessary EMS requests.
To disable EMS, change your <<settings, kibana.yml>> file.
. Set `map.includeElasticMapsService` to `false` to turn off the EMS connection.
. Set `map.tilemap.url` to the URL of your tile server. This configures the **Maps** default tile layer.
. (Optional) Set `map.regionmap` to the vector shapes of the administrative boundaries that you want to use.
