thanks @ylasri for the link, it's the best tutorial for users to add a custom map to the legacy coordinate and region maps visualization @witcher, to add an ArcGIS Map to the Maps-application, you can add custom raster image or vector tile layers. For documentation see here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tile-layer.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tile-layer.html) I assume you're using ArcGIS Server ([https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/vector-tile-service.htm](https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/vector-tile-service.htm)), which supports these protocols - TMS: image tile service - mapbox vector tile service Both are supported by Elastic Maps. ---

If you mean having Google Maps as a layer on Elastic Maps I'm afraid that's not possible @witcher ---

Unfortunately no, there is no official tile service for Google Maps, and even further, their terms of service don't allow to use their cartography on a different mapping platform than their own. You can find more details [here](https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/287916/using-google-maps-tile-service-with-openlayers-5). ---
