I want to show a location in one coordinate map. I only want to know which city it is in.  
But after click the "Fit Data Bounds", it zoomed the map with too many detail.

Can I limit the max precision after click the button.

I know the precision can be limit by the "Change precision on map zoom" option. But after take off the option, the point in the map is not merged after zoom out, it seems the precision is fixed. I only want set the max precision, not a fixed one.

Thank you

Hey,

that is unfortunately not possible currently if you use Elastic's map server.

There is an `tilemap.options.maxZoom: 10` (default value) setting you can use in the `kibana.yml` config file, but that only has an effect as long as you use `tilemap.url` in the config to specify a custom URL to load tiles from.

I've also couldn't found any open issue regarding that feature. So if you consider this feature useful and would like to see it in future Kibana versions, I would ask you to open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues) for it.

Cheers,  
Tim
