Currently the Atlas app is able to load webmaps in non-Web Mercator projections from a configured Group. (thank you!), and the author can specify which basemap will load when the app is opened (also good!). 

However, when attempting to use a non-Web Mercator basemap as the initial map (Advanced Settings -> Atlas -> Change the default basemap) and choosing any non-Web Mercator basemap the chosen map is not displayed — the screen is just blank and there are no errors in the browser console.

It would be nice to be able to show a non-Web Mercator map when the app initializes.

This functionality has been implemented as of July 2024. 

Before you start, ensure you have a Group with a selection of non-Mercator maps you want to include in your Atlas.

In the App Builder, under the Atlas tab (Step 1) choose that group, toggle on "Choose a starter map" and then pick one of the maps in the group to open on first load.
