Hi there,

I have created a Maps visualization in Kibana with a layer that contains my data, and I added it in a dashboard with some filter controls. When filtering data the map is well updated with my filtered data but I must manually change the map localization to focus my data, I wonder if that can't be done automatically, I mean autofocus data when applying a filter.

Here is a screenshot of my dashboard.

Thank you in advance.

hi @karimkun, unforturanetly that feature is not yet present in Maps, but it was already [logged](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/53831) in our issues tracker. If you have a github account you may want to chime in with a 👍. In any case it's definitely in the team's radar.

Cheers!
