Hi,

We just updated from Kibana **v7.10** to **v7.13.2** and there seems to be some changes on the Vega Map visualisations.

When using base map layer ( **mapStyle: false** ), zoom levels seem to be limited to the range between 1 and 10.  
And not taking into account the **minzoom** / **maxzoom** defined in the Vega spec, which use to allow zooms from 1 to 20.  
When setting **mapStyle: true** , the full range of zoom levels can be used (1 to 20).

Code hasn't changed, Vega schema is the same so I guess it must come from the update but couldn't find anything in the documentation regarding changes on Vega Maps or the EMS.

The only reference I could find was to the following parameters in the **kibana.yml** : **map.tilemap.options.minZoom** , **map.tilemap.options.maxZoom**.  
But seems that 1-10 were always the default values.

Any idea on how to solve the "problem"?

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi @Kayak007. Thanks for reaching out! I looked into this and can confirm this is a bug in Kibana. [I've filed a bug report here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/112764).

Hi,  
Thanks for quick the answer.

You think there's a workaround that I could try until the bug is fixed?

Regards.

As a workaround, you could configure a third-party Tile Map Service in Kibana. There are some examples that should work in [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-basemaps-for-region-and-coordinate-maps-in-kibana).
