== Region Maps
Region maps are thematic maps in which boundary vector shapes are colored using a gradient:
higher intensity colors indicate larger values, and lower intensity colors indicate smaller values.
These are also known as choropleth maps.

=== Configuration
To create a region map, you configure an inner join that joins the result of an Elasticsearch terms aggregation
and a reference vector file based on a shared key.
==== Data
===== Metrics
Select any of the supported _Metric_ or _Sibling Pipeline Aggregations_.
===== Buckets
Configure a _Terms_ aggregation. The term is the _key_ that is used to join the results to the vector data on the map.
==== Options
===== Layer Settings

as well as your self-hosted layers that are configured in the *config/kibana.yml* file. To learn more about how to configure Kibana
to make self-hosted layers available, see the <<regionmap-settings,regionmap settings>> documentation.

- *Join field*: this is the property from the selected vector map that will be used to join on the terms in your terms-aggregation.
When terms cannot be joined to any of the shapes in the vector layer because there is no exact match in the vector layer, Kibana will display a warning.

To turn of these warnings, go to *Management/Kibana/Advanced Settings* and set `visualization:regionmap:showWarnings` to `false`.
