As far as I understand to support custom Tiles and vectors this should be done in Dashboards unless there are underlying field mappers which have to change.

@vamshin Did I understand it correctly?

@saratvemulapalli we need to store these GeoJsons in indices so customers could retrieve them from Dashboards and plot the coordinates. We are planning to build a plugin to host these changes. Once we have plugin ready, we will move this issue there.

Hi @vamshin, do you happen to have an example Geo .json file that I could use in the documentation? Maybe one used for testing purposes? thanks

@alicejw-aws please find the attached custom geoJSON file having 5 US counties as features.

Please note the file should have .json or .geojson extension. I wasn't able to upload that here, hence sharing .txt file. Let me know if you need any help : )

usa-county.txt

We can also extract any custom geoJSON using this tool - https://geojson.io/

@vamshin checking in on this as we try to get squared away for the 2.2 release - is https://github.com/opensearch-project/geospatial the plugin repo? Can this issue be moved there?

Hi @kartg, thanks let us know, could you please help us move it to geospatial repo? Since I don't the permission to do so, thanks!

Since related PRs merged to geospatial and dashboards-maps repos for 2.2.0 release, going to close this issue.
