Hi,
Is there a difference between esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator() and geometryService.Project() functions?

Thanks

Why not test it out? Here's a modified version of the Project a Point sample that also uses geographicToWebMercator(): Project a point Click a location on the map to Project from LatLng -> Web Mercator:

Thanks for your answers. My question was intended to the last thread, if converting to web mercator via the client helper method is similar to geometry service project function, or less accurate?

Swingley, peraphs, the sense of question is if there is difference (example: accuracy/precision, density points ect) between to project a geometry with geographicToWebMercator()  or with geometryService (from 4326 to 102100).
