Hi funpig, I wrote and maintain the GPX template. Regarding #1, that's a good enhancement. I'll look at adding that. For #2, you could download and tweak the app to remove that but I understand if that's not practical. I'll look at removing the "No time info in GPX data." text from a future release. ... View more

If you're using a tiled service, you can get the map's level, add or subtract one from it depending on which button is clicked and pass that as the second argument to centerAndZoom. If you're not using a tiled service, centerAndZoom probably isn't what you want. Rather, try building a new extent and using map.setExtent.

Instead of continuously comparing properties of extents, why not enable your "return to initial extent" button when onExtentChange initially fires? Since onExtentChange fires when the map's extent changes, by definition, you know that the new extent is not going to be equal to the map's initial extent. I would then disconnect your listener for onExtentChange and only re-enable it when your "return to initial extent" button is clicked. I would also remove or disable your "return to initial extent" button after it's clicked as well. ... View more

Cool.  Thank you.  Your link is not public yet 😉 My mistake, I meant to link to the currently public JS API samples page:  http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm. 3 won't be out the same day as 10.1, right, it will be a few weeks later? I honestly don't the know official date for 10.1. We should be ready to announce 3.0 officially in the next couple of weeks. ... View more

There are quite a few things, here's a high level overview: �??finalized support for new 10.1 features (refer to the "ArcGIS Server 10.1" book of samples here:  http://helpdev.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm) �??enhancements to esri.request to automatically detect and use CORS �??uses Dojo 1.7 (we're bundling the new dgrid with our API build too) �??new Gauge dijit �??new samples showing more mobile examples, point clustering via a custom layer, Gauge dijit usage, using a map service returned by a GP task and more samples showing ArcGIS Portal API usage �??lots of bug fixes/enhancements, will be detailed in our "What's New in 3.0" doc I'm also trying to finish up a tutorial on writing classes with JS and writing dijits for use with the JS API that we can publish with the release of 3.0. ...

I looked into this a bit more and using setRenderer() doesn't cause the features to re-draw. Calling refresh() does the job, but as you noted it re-qureies the service. In cases where you're using 10.0 or 10.1, this shouldn't be a concern because the server should return a 304 in 100 or so milliseconds. If your server isn't quickly returning 304s, you could use centerAt and pass in the map's current center so that the map doesn't actually move but it does re-draw the features with the new renderer: map.centerAt(map.extent.getCenter()); Working example using this workaround:  http://jsfiddle.net/FePUD/ ...
