JS API: Cannot zoom to max level after changing basemap

MichaelSchnack

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this and has a workaround:

I have created a map with the javascript API which uses the basemapGallery widget.  The default map is dark-gray, which has a max zoom level of 16.  If the user changes the basemap to Imagery with Labels ("hybrid"), they still can only zoom to a max level of 16, and not to 19, which the hybrid map supports.

If I set the default map to hybrid, the max zoom level works as it should.

Setting the maxZoom when initiating the map does not make a difference.

Michael,

   If you are going to use a basemap that does not have all the LODs that other basemaps do as the default then you need to manually add the LODs to the maps constructor argument:

Map | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript

Look for the LOD section of the maps constructor option properties.

You can get the LODs json string from the basemap service like this:
