When I go to https://maps.elastic.co/ it's a bit confusing to know what to download and how to do it.

  1. Along the left side there are both a section of Tile Layers with the top item pre-selected Road map, and another section of Vector Layers with the top item pre-selected World Countries.

The Road map and World Countries are links, but only to render them in the map. I can't right-click and Save as to download the GeoJSON files.

If I click the Download GeoJSON button it opens the JSON in my browser. So I have to right-click (on Windows in Chrome) and save link as....

Using that button gets the item selected under Vector Layers. How would I get the Tile Layers? Or is it a combination thing where I make a selection in each list and when I download is some combination?

  1. The location of the Search... bar next to the Download GeoJSON button causes confusion that you have to search and selection something to download. The search is really just to search for things within the Vector Layers (and/or Tile Layers?) to show on the map.

I'm guessing that Tile Layers aren't GeoJSON? And don't need to be downloaded? If that's wrong, then maybe there should be another button like Download Tiles and showing the thing that's selected.
