Hi I would like to find out if there is a way to set the current map : Latitude, Longitude and Zoom factor based on the ingested data. I have created a map to map all the Geospatial field on the map; however, I find that the current base map coordinate is centered on a different location. I would like to find out if there is a way to change map coordinate : Latitude, Longitude and Zoom factor before showing all the Geospatial points. Please find some screen shoot related to this problem. Thank you in advance for your help on this issue.

hi @Hung_M_Le starting 7.8, you can use the `Map Settings` ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/maps-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/maps-settings.html)) to specify how the map should startup. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/d/1dcf96d19645670c121f827ada2f97be9141a0a9.png) A recent - but not yet released - improvement, will likely do what you need. You can specify if the map should ~~start-up~~ [EDIT] automatically zoom to the data when the filters change [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/72129](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/72129). This enhancement will be part of a future release of Kibana. ---

@Hung_M_Le I need to amend my response. While you can enable the auto-fit behavior, so the map will automatically zoom to the data-location when the queries and filters change, it will not automatically _startup_ at that location. That is a separate improvement which has _not_ been completed [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/72480](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/72480) . My apologies for the confusion. ---

Hi Thomas Thank you for your prompt response. It is very helpful to know that there is plan to release a new feature for " auto-fit to data bounds"). I think it will resolve my issue and provide the consistency for the map display that I am looking for. If possible, can you let me know when we can expect the release for issue: > and ([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/72480](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/72480)) Again thank you for your help.

hi @Hung_M_Le I don't really have exact dates. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/72129](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/72129) will be available at the next next minor, 7.10. Kibana is at 7.8 right now. 7.9 will be released soon. Usually, there's about 2-3 months between releases. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/72480](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/72480) is in the backlog. I would subscribe to that issue so you can follow up with the version-labels. ---
