moving graphics disappear on zoom

RachelAlbritton — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 18:47:54 GMT

I have a moving vehicles graphics layer, and the graphics will disappear when the map gets zoomed in.

The graphics are being created from an esriRequest, and a setInterval is being used to update the vehicle locations every 5 seconds. If the map remains at the home zoom level, the app works as it should. Also, I can zoom all the way out and the graphics remain, but it I zoom into a level between 18-20 the graphic disappears. I have to zoom out a level to have it reappear, but as soon as I zoom back down it disappears again. I’ve also noticed that sometimes that graphics disappear on pan as well.

There is no min or max level set for the vehicle graphics layer so it should be defaulting to 0. I have tried the following:

Redraw the graphics on zoom,
Redraw the graphics on zoom-end
Logged to the console to see if the layer itself was still visible after zoom (it is).

It also does not seem to matter what I set the interval at, the vehicles disappear all at about the same zoom level (18-20) after the first interval has redrawn the vehicles in their new coordinate locations.

I’ve included, what should be all the relevant pieces of code below. I there’s something you think should be there please let me know. I may have forgotten to include it.

I’m using the 3.2 API.


app.vehiclesGraphicsLayer = new GraphicsLayer ({
    id: "vehiclesGraphicsLayer"
});
app.map.addLayer(app.vehiclesGraphicsLayer);
app.vehiclesGraphicsLayer.hide();

app.esriVehicleRequest = function (routeID) {
