Dear Kibana Community,

we've seen, that there was an issue, that Kibana's Map visualizations did not work any more (#7717). Going the issue down, user:jamesspi added a comment mid oj July last year and proposed to use our open and free OpenStreetMap Map-Service. In general, we are happy to deliver the map for the Kibana community, but we'd like to add two comments:

(1) user:jamesspi pointed you to the URL of our tile-server:  
[http://ows-tile.terrestris.de/osm-basemap/service](http://ows-tile.terrestris.de/osm-basemap/service)?

We propose to use the official URL  
[http://ows.terrestris.de/osm-basemap/service](http://ows.terrestris.de/osm-basemap/service)?

The rest is the same!  
Background: We will hide the "ows-tile-Server" behind our firewall soon, so the map-service from ows-tile will not be available for the public any more. The service from "[ows.terrestris.de](http://ows.terrestris.de)" will remain open and we are happy, when you use it.

(2) The data used for the map-service origins from the OpenStreetMap project. So, if anybody uses this map-service, it is in the duty of the user to add a (c)-attribution to the map, that refers to the data origins license and policy. So please add an attribution somewhere in the corner of your map like this:  
(c) OpenStreetMap contributors

Including a link that points to [http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright/en](http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright/en)

Also we would be pleased, if you would point to the origin of the service, to us 😉
