Has anyone had success changing the type of map Kibana uses when visualizing geo-locations? Any useful examples? I just can't find any examples of using a different WMS server to change the map type.

In the past , I have used this 3rd party WMS compliant Map Server like this one

```auto
http://ows.mundialis.de/services/service?
with WMS layers set to:
TOPO-OSM-WMS

```

Give this a try and let us know if it works...

Thanks

That did work thanks. Have had success with any WMS showing weather?
