Maps in Kibana are getting awesomer day by day. We have added a ton of features to our existing region and co-ordinate maps.

In region maps, the list of vector maps have gotten longer in our core Kibana:

![vectors](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/5/559da463a04c9759b655a08fafe14870129e8495.jpeg)

User will also be able to pick on a join field. For example - for Canada we have:

 ![canada_province](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/e/6e8d6cdd9d8b1cfd89af37088690d159799071ee.jpeg)

As an experiment, I indexed the demographics of population of Canada from official Stats Canada census data for 2016/2011:

You can see that Ontario province is the most populous. The total land area is 1,076,395 square kilometers and with a population density of 12.49 people per square kilometers.

Nunavut in contrast is bigger in landsize (1,936,113 km square) but with a very sparse population density - 0.02 people per square kilometers. Of course along with all the polar bears 🧸

And in the near future you will be able to see maps app.I ran Kibana master to get a glimpse of it and the capability of adding layers is amazing:

I hope this was a fun glimpse into maps in Kibana. We are very excited for future releases 🎊
