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. ... View more

If you're trying to get the extent of the features within that particular layer, you can use the QueryTask to return all the features and set the extent from those features queryTask = new esri.tasks.QueryTask("http://service.ncddc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/OceanExploration/regatlasSATL/MapServer/5"); query = new esri.tasks.Query(); query.returnGeometry = true; query.outFields = ["zkdiveid"]; query.where = "1=1";  queryTask.execute(query, function (fset) {      map.setExtent(esri.graphicsExtent(fset.features)); }); ...

Since the initial checked property of the check box is set by the layer's visibility, the easy way to do it is to set the visibility of the layers to false when they are created.       var quakeLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Earthquakes/EarthquakesFromLastSevenDays/MapServer", {id:'quakes', visible: false});        var fireLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Fire/Sheep/MapServer", {id:'fire', visible: false});  ...

This problem was eventually solved by wrapping the map initialization in a setTimeout function. The root of the problem seemed to be that the project has two scripts. The first reads in the configuration file using esriRequest and the second does the map initialization based on values read from the configuration file. It seems the map initialization was happening before the request was finished. Rewriting the code into a single script solved the problem in the end. ... View more
