Hello!

I am using tile map and I want for when I open the visualization for it to focus just on the United States Map. I am also trying to have it so that it is a fixed zoom level. What files do I need to alter to make that possible? Thank you. I am using Kibana 5.4.3

Hello Louie,

You can set these config settings in kibana.yml to control the zoom levels. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html)

tilemap.options.minZoom:  
Default: 1 The minimum zoom level.  
tilemap.options.maxZoom:  
Default: 10 The maximum zoom level.

But if you want your visualization to just focus on United States, then you will have to use a map which has just united states using the third party wms compatible map options in Kibana.

Thanks,  
Bhavya
