> Does kibana support only geo tags or we can use the custom tags

Can you provide some more details explaining what you mean with "geo tags" and "custom tags"?

The maps application can display [geo\_point](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-point.html) and [geo\_shape](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/geo-shape.html) fields.

Additionally, the maps application can [join](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/terms-join.html) number, boolean, date, ip, or string field from an Elasticsearch index to a vector layer.

If the vector layer is from [EMS](https://www.elastic.co/elastic-maps-service), Elastic published administrative boundaries, then the join field must match one of the fields provided by EMS. For example, the world countries published by EMS provide country codes in `ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code` and ` ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code` formats. To join with world countries, your right data source would have to contain fields in either `ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code` or ` ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code` formats.

If your vector layer is from an Elasticsearch index, then your right data source would have to contain a key field corresponding to any number, boolean, date, ip, or string field from that Elasticsearch index.

HI I am getting data from a custom Aungular application enabled for RUM . The developer has instrumented custom tags for lat long data . I am not able to trace this data directly in Kibana Maps  
Attached is a sample data ,  
**t** labels.latlong [18.8812,71.8342]  
**t** labels.log\_type INFO  
**t** labels.operatingSystem "Win32"  
Please also suggest if there is a standard way to instrument location data in the APM using RUM.

Hi Manish, can you please share, from Kibana dev tools, an example of a document and the mapping of the index?

`GET your_index_name/_search?size=1`  
`GET your_index_name/_mapping`
