Problem: custom LODS makes disappear basemap

[YvanBérard]

Hi all,

since i used custom LODS, my basemap won't show.

Why?

I'm using the basemap World_Imagery from ArcGIS Online.

Thank's for your help.

var basemapUrl = "http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer"; var lods = [ {  "level": 0,  "resolution": 26.458386250105836,  "scale": 100000 }, {  "level": 1,  "resolution": 13.229193125052918,  "scale": 50000 }, {  "level": 2,  "resolution": 5.291677250021167,  "scale": 20000 }, {  "level": 3,  "resolution": 2.6458386250105836,  "scale": 10000 }, {  "level": 4,  "resolution": 1.3229193125052918,  "scale": 5000 }, {  "level": 5,  "resolution": 0.6614596562526459,  "scale": 2500 }, {  "level": 6,  "resolution": 0.26458386250105836,  "scale": 1000 }, {  "level": 7,  "resolution": 0.19843789687579377,  "scale": 750 }, {  "level": 8,  "resolution": 0.13229193125052918,  "scale": 500 }];  var initialExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":-8034661,"ymin":5652797,"xmax":-8004182,"ymax":5670187,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100}});            map = new esri.Map("map", {  extent: initialExtent,  logo: true,  lods: lods });

The AGO basemap is cached.  You have to match your LODS to the services LODs

[YvanBérard]

so i won't be able to use it if i still use my custom LODS?

No.  Its a cached service which means the tiles are pre-generated.  No tiles exist at your defined scales

You either need to

1. Create your own basemap
2. Access the basemap dynamic (not sure you can do this)
3. Use the existing LODS.
