Hi Peter,

You may run into issues with using country names since the names in our Elastic Maps Service layer may differ from the country names in your indices.

I suggest comparing at the names in the World Countries layer at https://maps.elastic.co to the country names in your index and look for any that don't match.

You could download the GeoJSON file for the World Countries layer from https://maps.elastic.co and change the names in that file to match the data in your index. Then use the GeoJSON Upload tool in Elastic Maps to load the World Countries layer as a new index in Elasticsearch. That would allow you to load the layer as a Documents layer in Elastic Maps and do a terms join to your aggregated data in another index just as if you were using the data directly from Elastic Maps Service.
