I found the solution, in `kibana.yml`, put:

```auto
tilemap.options.maxZoom: 30

```

Hi Stephane,

glad you found it! Do note that 30 is a very precise zoom level. Most maps out there usually only go to level 20-22 (like maps from google, bing, yahoo,...). Right now the zooms of the default map of Kibana do not go deeper than level 10 either. So zoom level 30 is a little extreme 😉

FYI, I also linked your post here to [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/7882](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/7882). From your screenshot, the dots look really small. This is because the geohash aggregation (performed by elasticsearch) is too precise for that zoom level.
