I'm working on a project that is recreating a legacy mapping application using the ArcGIS Javascript API. I am hoping this is a simple question: is there an easy way to display the "navigation control" icon (i.e. the circle with four arrows used for scrolling)? I have not found a simple control to turn it on/off, where zoom sliders, etc seem to be readily accessible in the API. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Have you proposed dropping that particular control? Please consider it if you haven't. There are better ways to do map navigation. Click and drag to pan is a better way to move around the map and most users who have used any map from a major vendor is probably already familiar with it. If you're users are using macs, it gets even better with 2.7's superpan feature.

That being said, there isn't a control like what you're describing natively in the API. Building your own is a pretty simple exercise. There's an app from LOJIC (Louisville, KY) that did their own control:  http://ags2.lojic.org/lojiconline/

Unfortunately, this is something our client wants so I guess we'll have to build our own.

Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.
