Qlik Sense: Which server is used, when dealing with a "Map object"

[Joseph_Musekura]

Several questions were raised up about the use of Qlik Sense Map Object. This article highlights few of them but the list is not exhaustive. As addition, see also Qlik Sense / NPrinting: Export vs Using Proxy, Q&A.

Question: when using built-in map object, what does the Qlik Server connect to? Qlik proprietary server? 3rd party geo services? 
Answers: maps.qlikcloud.com and arcgisonline.com.
                But if you are using your own Enterprise GeoAnalytics Server, you can change the in-built map chart url. See How to change the map url in built-in map chart to a local GeoAnalytics map server
