Bookmarks not zoom to correct extent, Help!

HalilSiddique — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 13:27:17 GMT

Hi all,
I have set up my bookmarks but when I select one it zooms to the lowest level (1:500) in my cached base map, even though the extents bounding box should be at 1:7500. Has anyone else encountered this or does someone know how to fix this?
my code is below

<configuration>
    <bookmarks>
        <bookmark name="Chalkwell">585331 186038 586138 185469</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Eastwood">582974 189275 585302 187928</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Leigh-on-Sea">583499 186968 584248 186526</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Prittlewell">586537 187689 587644 186959</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Shoeburyness">593506 185064 594548 184328</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Southend Pier">588184 184617 589525 183775</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Southchurch">590244 186316 591554 185499</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Westborough">585590 186768 586788 186144</bookmark>
        <bookmark name="Westcliff-on-Sea">586570 185999 587609 185348</bookmark>
    </bookmarks>
</configuration>

Thanks

Hi Halil,
Is 1:7500 a cached level? This happened to me where the extent of the book mark was in between to cash levels.

Hi Mark,

Just tripled checked, and 1:7500 is cached.

How did you decide on those coordinates? Did you use the extent helper?

Imk not using the web mercator projection but British National Grid. So just used the extents from ArcMap.

But i have figured my problem out, even though I used the extents from my cached scale (1:7500), it wasnt exact. So I used the enhanced bookmark wideget and created the exact same bookmarks, then compared what I did in my config and what the Bookmark widget said, and I was just a tad out, so have used the coordinates from the widgets and all is good now.
