There is a data area with geo coordinates. I need to display them on the map using a kibana. I use the widget coordinate map. When the card is added to the dashboard, with the parameter `Precision=7` and there is a constant update of the data for 5, 10, 20 seconds after a while the tab in the browser drops with an error. When trying to find a problem, it turned out that the memory is consumed quickly.

Hello Tatiana,

Yes, you'll experience increased memory consumption as you increase the precision adjustment. This is a known challenge and is documented [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tilemap.html#_buckets). At precision level 7, you're using the highest precision available in Kibana. Each level is going to be an order of magnitude more sub-divided areas to search than the previous one, so the jump from 6 to 7 is quite significant.

I can appreciate why you'd want a high level of precision, but for performance considerations, it might be best to drop that down.

Regards,  
Aaron

Yes, but it looks like an abnormal memory utilization.  
There is a set of geo coordinates with about 75,000 pieces.  
The dashboard is updated with the widget of the coordinate map every 5 seconds, the real-time update of the data in the index does not matter.  
Those. I tried to stop the data collection in the index and reproduce this error.  
Through the debug of the tab in the browser, you can see that a rapid increase in memory usage is starting.  
And after 5 minutes, the browser crashes with an error, after which only a reset of the browser’s cache helps. Until the next occurrence of this error.
