Is there a way of getting higher resolutions for the basemaps? I'm trying to zoom into the Cape Cod Bay area and the resolution is not adequate?

'darkwater'

'landcover'

Is there a way of using a 3rd party map with a higher resolution?

With MATLAB R2019b, five additional high-zoom-level basemaps are available. You can select the basemap using the geobasemap function: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/geobasemap.html

If you are looking to use a custom basemap, then addcustombasemap function in Mapping Toolbox will allow you to use them with your geographic plots: https://www.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/addcustombasemap.html?
