How to customize one of the standard Google Maps API map types

There are 2 options for base map in Earth Engine: Map (default) and Satellite. I would like to have Satellite as default base map when I press ctrl + enter (or click run button). I know that I can switch between the 2 options by clicking on the desired one, but I would like to make this automatic.

I tried:

Map.setOptions({
  mapTypeId: "SATELLITE"
});

This almost does what I want expect that all labels and countries / administrative boundaries are turned off. How can I have both the satellite base map and these features?

I checked this, but I can't figure out how to achieve what I want.

Solution

  • Does this help:

    Map.setOptions('HYBRID')
