Hi, Does anybody knows how to author a web map with multiple layers as basemap, like the esri's "XX with Labels". Basically those maps have a base tile layer, and another reference layer. However, in the arcgis.com viewer, you can only add one tile layer as basemap. Also, those layers carries information like "isReference", but there is no way in the online viewer to set them. Is there an API or some sort to post a JSON config for the web map, so we can manually setup a webmap according to its JSON specs? "baseMap": {     "baseMapLayers": [       {         "opacity": 1,         "url": "http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Terrain_Base/MapServer",         "visibility": true       },       {         "isReference": true,         "opacity": 1,         "url": "http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Reference/World_Reference_Overlay/MapServer",         "visibility": true       }     ],     "title": "Terrain with Labels"   }, Finally, what about the "tasks"? It's showing up in json response, but it seems to no way to define them in viewer yet. Thanks, Nianwei ... View more

Hello group, Some of you may have been using the "GoogleMapsLayer" available in the code gallery to bring Google Maps in JSAPI app as a base map option: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a84d64b0d1404366a02da714ca59d61f . I'd like to share a few major enhancement available: Support Google "map style", with custom hue/lightness/saturation, and turn on/off features drawn, which offers unlimited flavor of base maps. i.e. "dynamic-thematic-tiled" base map. Provides 2 predefined styles: "Gray" and "Night" to use with operational layers on different scenarios, and any custom configuration. Street view with display of streets where images available, drag-drop pegman icon to switch between street view mode and map mode. Cross domain built for use online version, no download necessary to get started. Works with BasemapControl widget (http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7032c5fce478455b848183e42fd5b256) to easily provide many base map options to your application. Feedback welcome. N.L. ...

Hello group, Does anybody knows or willing to share if it is possible to let the mouse event reach to a div inside the layers element? That means event on individual layers such as tiled, dynamic layer or any customer layer.   Right now, the DOM structure is like: map_zoom_slider map_infowindow map_container     map_layers        ...individual_layers the slider and infor window can capture mouse events, however, event is not reaching further down to individual layers, they all stopped at map_container div and it's children cannot receive any events.   I can somehow use an external control to temporarily lift my div on top of map_container, so it will receive events such as mouse down/move(drag) etc. It works but have potential side effects with event listeners because the DOM structure changed.   I also temped messing with z-index, not work as wished.   The actual use case is to allow google streetview pegman icon draggable when it is loaded into JSAPI as a div inside div map_layers.   Thanks ...
