We have migrated the dashboards and visualizations from a ELK 7.2 to OpenDistro 7.10.2. Most things have gone well but coordinate maps are not working properly.  
Most of the maps appear empty after loading the dashboard and you have to press the zoom button in order to see the map.  
Original map before clicking the zoom button:

Some maps don´t show anything even after clicking zoom button. Is there any configuration that we are missing?

We have seen this documentation: [WMS Map Server - Open Distro Documentation](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/kibana/maptiles/) but we are not completely sure if that configuration applies to the coordinate maps.

Hi, I tried with some of the maps of that link and the result is the same. I configure the WMS but the map is still blank.

I am also facing the same issue, maps not working its shows in gray color after adding wms service url and layers also.  
Any solution on it?  
I am creating new coordinating map as imported from 7.8.2 is not working, I enabled below setting in kibana.yml  
map.includeElasticMapsService: true

and followed procedure given on [WMS Map Server - Open Distro Documentation](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/kibana/maptiles/)

 ![gray_map](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/0/0c09e997564df7ad6ca9bd087d9350948dc554c3.jpeg)

I have noticed while creating new coordinating map three urls are not listed there in right bottom corner

![maps](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/1/19612978a2e6153a7e19fbef937ca5cc4df9b94a.png)

is we need to configure those urls somewhere?
