[[visualize-maps]] == Maps To tell a story and answer questions about your geographical data, you can create several types of interactive maps with Visualize. Visualize supports the following maps: * *Coordinate* — Display latitude and longitude coordinates that are associated to the specified bucket aggregation. * *Region* — Display colored boundary vector shapes using a gradient. Darker colors indicate larger values, and lighter colors indicate smaller values. NOTE: The maps in Visualize have been replaced with <>, which offers more functionality. [float] [[coordinate-map]] === Coordinate map Use a coordinate map when your data set includes latitude and longitude values. For example, use a coordinate map to see the varying popularity of destination airports using the sample flight data.

Configure the following `kibana.yml` settings: * Set `xpack.maps.showMapVisualizationTypes` to `true`. * To use a tile service provider for coordinate maps other than https://www.elastic.co/elastic-maps-service[Elastic Maps Service], configure the <>. . To display your data on the coordinate map, use the following aggregations: * <> * <> . Specify the geohash bucket aggregation options: * *Precision* slider — Determines the granularity of the results displayed on the map. To show the *Precision* slider, deselect *Change precision on map zoom*. For information on the area specified by each precision level, refer to {ref}/search-aggregations-bucket-geohashgrid-aggregation.html#_cell_dimensions_at_the_equator[geohash grid]. + NOTE: Higher precisions increase memory usage for the browser that displays {kib} and the underlying {es} cluster. * *Place markers off grid (use {ref}/search-aggregations-metrics-geocentroid-aggregation.html[geocentroid])* — When you selected, the markers are placed in the center of all documents in the bucket, and a more accurate visualization is created. When deselected, the markers are placed in the center of the geohash grid cell. + NOTE: When you have multiple values in the geo_point, the coordinate map is unable to accurately calculate the geo_centroid. [float] [[navigate-coordinate-map]] ==== Navigate the coordinate map To navigate the coordinate map, use the navigation options. * To move the map center, click and hold anywhere on the map and move the cursor. * To change the zoom level, click *Zoom In* or *Zoom out* image:images/viz-zoom.png[]. * To automatically crop the map boundaries to the geohash buckets that have at least one result, click *Fit Data Bounds* image:images/viz-fit-bounds.png[]. [float] [[region-map]] === Region map Use region maps when you want to show statistical data on a geographic area, such as a county, country, province, or state. For example, use a region map if you want to see the average sales for each country with the sample eCommerce order data. [role="screenshot"] image::images/visualize_region_map_example.png[] [float] [[build-region-maps]] ==== Build a region map Configure the `kibana.yml` settings and add the aggregations. . In `kibana.yml`, set `xpack.maps.showMapVisualizationTypes` to `true`. . To display your data on the region map, use the following aggregations: * <> * <> * <> [float] [[navigate-region-map]] ==== Navigate the region map To navigate the region map, use the navigation options. * To change the zoom level, click *Zoom In* or *Zoom out* image:images/viz-zoom.png[]. * To automatically crop the map boundaries, click *Fit Data Bounds* image:images/viz-fit-bounds.png[].
