Hello. I want to show the location of player death point data on the our game map background not world countries map type. I've been looking around for a couple of days, but I didn't get the any clue. Here's my question. 1. how to change the background data of the map feature in Kibana from the world map to a custom map? 2. if that is not possible, is there any way to display the location data by the location(x,y) data in the game. Thank you. ---

Kibana maps only displays latitude and longitude coordinates. You will have to map your game world coordinates onto latitude and longitude coordinate space. Here is [an example](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-and-a-custom-tile-server-for-nhl-data) you can follow, where hockey shot locations are mapped into latitude and longitude coordinate space and displayed on a hockey rink
