How to Add Animation / Smooth Pan On Setting New Center For Map

Question

Can you please take a look at this demo and let me know how I can add smooth animation or Pan function to move to the destination? As you can see I am trying to re-center the map center by map.centerAt(new Point(-78.542, 37.61, new SpatialReference({wkid: 4326})));‍ on a click event but this is jumping the map to the destination. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no"/> <title>Simple Maptitle> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://js.arcgis.com/3.23/esri/css/esri.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous"> <style> html, body, #map { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } style> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js">script> <script src="https://js.arcgis.com/3.23/">script> <script> var map; require(["esri/map", "esri/geometry/Point","esri/SpatialReference","dojo/domReady!"], function(Map, Point, SpatialReference) { map = new Map("map", { basemap: "topo", //For full list of pre-defined basemaps, navigate to http://arcg.is/1JVo6Wd center: [-122.45, 37.75], // longitude, latitude zoom: 13 }); $(".btn").on("click", function(){ map.centerAt(new Point(-78.542, 37.61, new SpatialReference({wkid: 4326}))); }); }); script> head> <body> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Go Therebutton> <div id="map">div> body> html>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Bengi,

You just need to play with the panDurration and panRate numbers then until your happy.

Thanks Robert but this is working fine on only Zoomed out maps. I tried to use a zoom level of 12 or 14 and jumping was happening again

Bengi, Here is a sample that sets the APIs default animation. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no"> <title>Customize Map Navigation Animation</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://js.arcgis.com/3.23/esri/css/esri.css"> <style> html, body, #map { height: 100%; width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { background-color: #FFF; overflow: hidden; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; } </style> <script src="https://js.arcgis.com/3.23/"></script> <script> var map; require(["esri/map", "esri/geometry/Point", "esri/SpatialReference", "esri/config", "dojo/domReady!"], function(Map, Point, SpatialReference, esriConfig) { //configure map animation to be faster esriConfig.defaults.map.panDuration = 500; // time in milliseconds, default panDuration: 350 esriConfig.defaults.map.panRate = 50; // default panRate: 25 esriConfig.defaults.map.zoomDuration = 500; // default zoomDuration: 500 esriConfig.defaults.map.zoomRate = 1; // default zoomRate: 25 map = new Map("map", { basemap: "satellite", center: [-93.5, 36.972], zoom: 5 }); setTimeout(function(){ map.centerAt(new Point(-78.542, 37.61, new SpatialReference({wkid: 4326}))); }, 1000) }); </script> </head> <body> <div id="map"></div> </body> </html>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
