    <title>topic geodesicDistanceThreshold deprecation without explanation - will there be a future alternative. in ArcGIS JavaScript Maps SDK Questions</title>
    <link>https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/geodesicdistancethreshold-deprecation-without/m-p/1561189#M86117</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I noticed in the 4.29 changelog that the &lt;STRONG&gt;geodesicDistanceThreshold&lt;/STRONG&gt; property has been widely deprecated across many tools. While I can understand the potential rationale behind this decision—since the property could lead to significant confusion about how distances are measured—it also removes the ability to control how distances are calculated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example, I have been using this property to set the threshold to &lt;STRONG&gt;0&lt;/STRONG&gt; or &lt;STRONG&gt;Infinity&lt;/STRONG&gt; to explicitly force geodesic or Euclidean distance measurements.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The &lt;A href="https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/4.29/" target="_self"&gt;changelog&lt;/A&gt; does not explain the reasoning behind the deprecation or suggest any future alternatives. Could you clarify?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
