Hi,

The india map shown in kibana doesn't cover certain parts of a particular state ( Kashmir ) . My requirement is would I be able to alert the boundaries of a country in anyway or perhaps is there any other place from where I can pick an alternative map and load it?

You can use/define your own geoshapes in Elasticsearch if you have something.

Otherwise there are a few posts on our blog that might help - [https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0) and [https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-basemaps-for-region-and-coordinate-maps-in-kibana](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-basemaps-for-region-and-coordinate-maps-in-kibana)
