Hi,
I've seen similar posts on this but nothing with a straight up answer.
Can I use google maps as Kibana's map server?
If so, what should be it's settings?
If not, Can anyone recommend any other wms ?

@danielbr Google Maps doesn't have the necessary WMS services available to use them with the Tilemap.

HI Brandon,
I was suspecting so, appreciate your input.
May I ask if you know of any other free vendors that could work as tile severs for Kibana?
