The issue is that our Kibana has to be in an instance where there is no internet connection (organization regulations). And because of that, maps are not loading as there is no internet connection for CORS to work as per [https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0)

Is there a way to load maps without internet connection?

@jrplus You'll need to either host or have some other means to get the mapping tiles/layers. We have blogpost on getting started for that located here: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-basemaps-for-region-and-coordinate-maps-in-kibana](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-basemaps-for-region-and-coordinate-maps-in-kibana).

The long story is that Kibana acts as a gateway to the Elastic Maps Service, and without a "hot" internet connection to load this information, you'll need to supply it by some other means.
