Zooming to a extent.

[PrasannaRaghavendar]

Hi,

I have a map and the min longitude, min latitude, max longitude and max latitude values of a country.
Say the values are, -1.41382, 42.42873, 1.78659, 42.65601.
How should I zoom the map to this extent?

Thanks
Prasanna

I found out that doing this would zoom 🙂

var mercExtent =new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":xmin,"ymin":ymin,"xmax":xmax,"ymax":ymax,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}});// esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(geoCountryExtent) as esri.geometry.Extent;     var startExtent= esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(mercExtent);

So, the latitude and longitude values are the Geographic coordinates while the x, y coordinates are the WebMercator coordinates?

Thanks
Prasanna

Hey if the spatialReference  of your map is the same as of the extent  you can try this.

var mercExtent =new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":xmin,"ymin":ymin,"xmax":xmax,"ymax":ymax,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}});
map.setExtent(mercExtent );

Hope it helps you :).....
