This PR: - updates navigation instructions to accommodate for the navigation changes related to solution views. - updates instructions for adding sample data to rely on the integrations page instead of the home page, that only exists with the classic solution view - updates references to the home page to avoid confusing users using one of the new solution views Closes: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/529 Closes: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/540

== Upload GeoJSON data
|
|
|
|
Maps makes it easy to import geospatial data into the Elastic Stack.
|
|
Using the GeoJSON Upload feature, you can drag and drop your point and shape
|
|
data files directly into {es}, and then use them as layers
|
|
in the map. You can also use the GeoJSON data in the broader Kibana ecosystem,
|
|
for example, in visualizations and Canvas workpads.
|
|

|
=== Why GeoJSON?
|
|
GeoJSON is an open-standard file format for storing geospatial vector data.
|
|
Although many vector data formats are available in the GIS community,
|
|
GeoJSON is the most commonly used and flexible option.

|
=== Upload a GeoJSON file
|
|
Follow these instructions to upload a GeoJSON data file, or try the
|
|
<<indexing-geojson-data-tutorial, end-to-end integrated example>>.
|
|
|
|
. Go to *Maps*, and select *Add layer*.
|
|
. Select *Uploaded GeoJSON*.

|
|
|
|
. Use the file chooser to select a valid GeoJSON file. The file will load
|
|
a preview of the data on the map.
|
|
. Use the default *Index type* of {ref}/geo-point.html[geo_point] for point data,
|
|
or override it and select {ref}/geo-shape.html[geo_shape].
|
|
All other shapes will default to a type of `geo_shape`.
|
|
. Leave the default *Index name* and *Data view* names (the name of the uploaded
|
|
file minus its extension). You might need to change the index name if it is invalid.
|
|
. Click *Import file*.
|
|
+
|
|
Upon completing the indexing process and creating the associated data view,
|
|
the Elasticsearch responses are shown on the *Layer add panel* and the indexed data
|
|
appears on the map. The geospatial data on the map
|
|
should be identical to the locally-previewed data, but now it's indexed data from Elasticsearch.
|
|
|
|
. To continue adding data to the map, click *Add and continue*.
|
|
. In *Layer settings*, adjust any settings or <<maps-vector-style-properties, properties>> as needed.
|
|
. Click *Keep changes*.
