I'm not sure where to best ask this but a bunch of tasks were closed in github with the message about how a new map visualization is being built and so no more work will be done with the existing ones (an example would be [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11887](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11887)).

I'm assuming this is talking about the new GIS app ([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/22194](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/22194)). I understand that that app will be an x-pack app, so it currently means that OSS users will not have access to it.

Does this mean that OSS Kibana will no longer have any map visualizations?

hi @trevan,

When we release the GIS-app, we will preserve the old map visualizations in Kibana OSS. So the Region Maps and Coordinate Maps Visualizations will continue to be maintained, alongside the upcoming GIS-app. The latter will likely get the bulk of the new feature additions though.
