Hi, I have a tileset for a big ingame map (GTA V [Example Map Interface](https://map.statev.de)) and I want to put it into Kibana. I created the layer and managed to make it display the images, but they are kinda screwed [Screenshot](http://puu.sh/EsSvo/7cbe0e2cee.jpg) Is it even possible to make the Map feature work with a custom map like this? And if it somehow works.. how do I set the dimensions for my custom coordinates? I just have x and y with no relation to lat and lng. ---

Hi @eiksch The answer is somewhat mixed. it is possible to use Kibana Maps for this non-geo use-case. For a similar example, see the screenshots where we used Maps to display a map of game-of-thrones ([https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-maps-7-3-0-released](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-maps-7-3-0-released)). It _does_ require that all your x-y coordinates are mapped to equivalent lats and lons in the appropriate -90/90 (for lat) and -180/180 (for lon) domains. So this may require a conversion step first on your end. From the screenshot, it seems you are using the TMS-source. Yes, that's exactly the kind of source to use. So basically, just add [https://map.statev.de/{z}/{y}/{x}.png](https://map.statev.de/%7Bz%7D/%7By%7D/%7Bx%7D.png) Unfortunately, why the GTA-map looks screwy in Kibana, is because the orientation of that GTA tile-set is flipped. The orientation of the Y-axis is bottom-to-top for your tile service. Maps only supports the tileset orientations where the Y-axis points top-to-bottom. That is why you get that odd striping effect. The tileset spec Maps supports is the Google Maps one ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiled\_web\_map](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiled_web_map)). Most toolkits that support cutting up imagery in tileset should support this spec. ---

I extended my picture now, from 8192x8192 to 16384x8192. Then I used gdal\_translate and created a .tif to add the lat/lon information to the picture And then I used gdal2tiles to create the tileset. It now looks like [this](http://puu.sh/EuN4P/062db188bf.jpg) @thomasneirynck can you tell me what is missing? It looks like it has something to do with the format of the tileset. Maybe gdal2tiles can't achieve what I need? edit: it should look like this: [link](http://map.statev.de/half.jpg) ---

Eep, that looks worse! Can you check if the {x}/{y}/{z} parameters are ordered in the URL? it's possible that gdal2tiles puts them in a different order. btw. you might be interested in this blogpost, that shows a similar use-case. [https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-and-a-custom-tile-server-for-nhl-data](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-and-a-custom-tile-server-for-nhl-data) It's a few years old, and does not use the new Kibana Maps, but the principle is the same. ---
