Change FullExtent property

TiagoRibeiro — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:01:43 GMT

Hi,

I'm using the zoomToFullExtent() method of the navigation toolbar to go to the full extent of the map. The thing is that it does the full extent to the basemap (ESRI Streets), and I wanted to go to the initial extent defined when loading the map. Is there a property or way to change the default FullExtent? Is it possible to limit of zoom??

Thanks

No, but the good news is that this is pretty straightforward to implement. I would do the following:
-save a copy of the extent
-connect a button or link to a function that passes your extent to map.setExtent()

Thanks, it was really straightforward 😄
Can you help in another thing? How can I limit the level of zoom that one can go. I'm trying to define the LOD's... but to no avail!!

For specific LODs, check out this sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples/map_switch_layer_on_zoom.html

My post in this thread is probably useful too: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/36441-Default-Zoom-Slider?p=122991&viewfull=1#post122991

can you share the code that you used to accomplish this task? I have a similar issue
