Access to the satellite map via the API Pro

PREDICT

We can't access the Satellite map with the API pro . All the models and data are available and readable but we can't find the satellite map. Is there any special handling?

@PREDICT Satellite is a part of the API Pro. I have just tested it, store.set('overlay', 'satellite') does the job.

store.set('overlay', 'satellite')

store.set('overlay', 'satellite') set the current layer to satellite, i can see it in the layer panel but as soon i change the current layer ( for exemple : "wind" ) the line for satellite layer selection disapear

as far as i have look, i have found that the parentMenu for the satellite layer is radarSat and is not present in the DOM after store.set('overlay', 'satellite') only the sub-menu for select the satellite layer, so when i change the actuel layer satellite to wind it close the submenu satellite and there is no "parent-menu" to open it again

I can manage to overpass this probleme with some (forced) css
or programmatically with JS but is this the intended behavior of not being able to use the satellite like a normal layer ( in a paid plan of course ) ?! otherwise how can i do it ?

@kamiedge Check https://api.windy.com/map-forecast/examples/parameters, especially favOverlays parameter. It should solve your issue.
