[Maps] Map properties

[jsanz]

Describe the feature:

A Map is composed of layers, but there are no place for other properties apart from the map name for the user. I can imagine at least the following properties at map level I'd like to be allowed to set up:

• Background color: for when a basemap is not desired, independently of the Kibana theme.
• Description: adding some context information that eventually can be displayed with the legend.
• Inital position: lock the map to a center & zoom, no matter the state when you save it.
• Navigation options:
  • Maximum and minimum zoom (:heavy_check_mark: [Maps] Map settings: min and max zoom #63714)
  • Max bounding box limits
  • Disable mouse controls
  • Toggle to auto adjust map center and zoom when filtering map [Maps] Auto adjust map center and zoom when filtering map #53831 and Automatic zoom of coordinate map dashboard while filtering data #32738
  • Toggle to dynamically include a geo_bounding_box query in the filter bar based on the current extent of the view in an embedded Map [Maps] Option to filter Dashboard visualizations by geo bounds of an embedded Map #59751
• Spatial filters - (:heavy_check_mark: [Maps] Show spatial filters on map to provide context when for active filters #63406)
  • Toggle to show/hide spatial filters
  • spatial filters fill color
  • spatial filters border color
  • spatial filters alpha

Describe a specific use case for the feature:

The most relevant use case is, in my opinion, to limit the navigation to produce maps that are more static, maybe they only make sense to be seen at world-wide level, or they only make sense for a country in particular.

From the UX point of view, for the Maps user, it's also a bit annoying to remember to "relocate" the map to the desired initial position anytime you finish an editing session; it would be more friendly to set up that location at the map properties independently of the current location when you save the map.

Updated issue description

• added "Toggle to dynamically include a geo_bounding_box query in the filter bar based on the current extent of the view in an embedded Map" under "Navigation options"
• added "Toggle to auto adjust map center and zoom when filtering map" under "Navigation options"

I am starting to look into showing active spatial filters, #14821, and I think configuring this should also belong to map properties. For example the following configuration items are needed.

1. Toggle to show/hide active spatial filters be displayed
2. spatial filters styling - color/transparency/border...

@elastic/kibana-design Any ideas on where the UI for configuring these type of map level items should exist?

Map properties would also be a useful place to put spatial filter layer configuration - #63406

Description: adding some context information that eventually can be displayed with the legend.

Would this "Description" be similar to the description text box available in the save box as in other visualizations? Maybe not necessarily a part of Map Settings?

Closing. settings have been added.
