Elastic Maps, initially released in beta with Kibana 6.7 and now generally available in Kibana 7.3, has introduced several noteworthy features that enhance its functionality and user experience. Among these enhancements are the ability to embed maps in dashboards, facilitating the integration of geospatial data with other visualizations, and a GeoJSON upload feature that simplifies the ingestion of custom shape files into Elasticsearch. The improved legend now offers detailed insights into map layers, while users can symbolize points with customizable icons and benefit from dark-themed tiles that align with Kibana’s dark mode. Tooltips have been upgraded to display multiple features with pagination controls, and class styling now allows for refined symbolization through layer filtering. The "Most recent entities" feature leverages Elasticsearch aggregations to visualize recent document data effectively, and new subdivision layers provide more granular regional insights. Additionally, users can disable the global search bar for specific layers to prevent unnecessary data filtering, especially useful when dealing with maps that draw from multiple indices. These features collectively enhance Elastic Maps' capability as a robust tool for geospatial data analysis and visualization.
