What is the origin of the PNG files? Are they expressed in [web mercator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator_projection) projection?

If you run Kibana on your own computer, In Elastic Maps you can add a `Tile Map Service` that can point to a web server in your laptop (like `Nginx` or `Apache httpd`) hosting those files.
