Basemap Question about Names? basemap: ?

[JamesCucinelli]

Question # 1
I'm using the unique value rendered sample and it has basemap: "streets",

https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/renderer_unique_value.html

If I want to change the name of the basemap, where is the documentation that tells me which each of these basemaps is called?

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/#/Static_maps/02r3000001mt000000/

Question # 2
Can I change the projection?

Thank you in advance,
James Cucinelli

The standard Esri basemaps are  "streets" , "satellite" , "hybrid", "topo", "gray", "oceans", "national-geographic", "osm". This is listed in the Map constructor basemap option.

From the BaseMap Gallery help

All basemaps added to the gallery need to have the same spatial reference.   If the default ArcGIS.com basemaps are used then all additional items added   to the gallery need to be in Web Mercator (wkids: 102100, 102113 and 3857).   If the default basemaps are not used you can add basemaps in any spatial   reference as long as all the items added to the gallery share that spatial   reference. To achieve the best performance, it is recommended that all   basemaps added to the gallery are cached (tiled) layers.

Ken,

Thank you so much!

I swear I searched the reference and it didn't come up.

And I must not have looked in this part of the constructor.

Thanks.
James

I have never done that. Where is the green check mark?

[KenBuja]

The check mark (and up arrow) should show up on the right side of the messages
