URL parameters no longer working on Basic Media Map

RexTurgano — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 17:20:29 GMT

Hi team, I noticed the custom URL parameters no longer work on my Media Map. Here is an example link where I center my map based on lat/long and zoom into by level:

https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=4b3eb47c25ff45fa9f6bff45e3f2a389&center=-125.723,49.640943&level=10

lat/long = &center=-125.723,49.640943
level = &level=10

Have any advice on how to fix this ASAP or did something change/break? I tried re-configuring the Instant app and re-saving it, etc. Checked my web map as well.

Hi,

I have a bug logged for a similar issue with the share tool no longer working with British National Grid - it's been an issue since August. It's BUG-000178611 and its status is "In Product Plan" which means it will be addressed in a near-term release.

Cheers,

@RexTurgano The level URL param combined with map area was a bug after the last update, which we were able to fix in a small update today. It should be working now.

Hi @BethRomero - any chance you can fix my bug too? 😉
