Can't zoomIn past a certain scale...

Everyone,

I am using a Bing Map as my base map (image).

There seems to be a built in limit that doesn't allow me to zoom in as far as I would like to with this basemap. No problem.

I have my own map service that contains an image (cached mapservice) that I would like the user to select if they really need to zoom in super-tight. (Bing gets removed, my service with image gets added...)

PROBLEM/QUESTION:
Once I initially add the Bing Map, I still can't zoom in tight when I switch out the Bing Map and add my own service that contains the image. If I use my service with my image on init() I am free to zoom in as tight as I want. If I Start out with BingMap (or OpenStreetMap for that matter), it seems I am forever limited on my zoomin....

Does anyone have any advice on this?

Thanks and Merry Christmas Everyone,

Shawn

when you create map with bing, the map gets defaulted to bing's scales. You have two options

1. Create map with custom LODs as a parameter
2. Add your custom map first, so the map gets its LODs, then add the bing map.

Jeff - Thanks I think you solved this for me. I still have to get my code in order but but from what I have done so far this looks like the way to go.

Many many thanks...
