Hi @Farid_N,

The Elastic Maps GeoJSON upload only supports that format, the link you shared is not following the [GeoJSON specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946).

You need to check if your data source offers a geojson format option or work with that output to adapt it to the GeoJSON spec.

Thank you so much for replying...  
Could you please bring a sample map for me? as a JASON file just for instance...

I can not find any kind of supported format for Kibana  
For example, the world JSON file... Can you offer me a repo or somewhere else?

Sure, you can find GeoJSON files from:

- [http://geojson.xyz/](http://geojson.xyz/) hosts GeoJSON versions of the popular [Natural Earth](http://www.naturalearthdata.com/) dataset
- Our Elastic Maps landing page [https://maps.elastic.co/](https://maps.elastic.co/) provides many layers as GeoJSON files, check for example the [USA States dataset](https://maps.elastic.co/#file/usa_states).
- Create your own editing directly on [https://geojson.io](https://geojson.io)

Hope it helps!
