[Premium user] Question about using Aerial basemap and zoom level

[정명현]

Hello Windy Team,

I’m a Premium user of Windy.com and currently integrating Windy maps into a platform.

I’d like to use the Aerial (satellite) basemap when the zoom level is above 12,
but I couldn’t find an official way to do this via the SDK or tileLayer settings.

Also, I noticed that the default maxZoom in the CDN SDK is set to 11,
so I’ve been manually changing it to 18 in order to enable higher zoom levels.

I assume this might not be the intended approach, so I’d appreciate clarification on:

1. The correct way to load and use Aerial (satellite) tiles at high zoom levels (e.g. 16–18)
2. Whether modifying maxZoom manually in the SDK is acceptable for Premium users

Thank you in advance.

@정명현 Unfortunately, this is not officially supported on our end.

@Suty Oh, I see, so how is it supported unofficially?
