Retrieving Map Resolution

JasonLevine — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 18:10:01 GMT

Is there any way to get at the map resolution through the API?

For my tiled service, I have:

Level ID: 9 [Start Tile, End Tile]
Resolution: 3.91839297309028
Scale: 4513.988705

To get at the scale, I would use: map.Scale

How would I get at the resolution? I need to capture it for some calculations.

Thanks,
Jason

You can use map.level as the index to the map.lods Array and then get the resolution from the corresponding LOD.

Thank you, I forgot this was stored in the array.
