Access and create bookmarks on a map.

Use case

Bookmarks are saved extents for a map. A tour app may save a bookmark for each site in the tour. An app may also allow users to add their own favorite places as bookmarks.

How to use the sample

The map in the sample comes pre-populated with a set of bookmarks. To access a bookmark and move to that location, click on a bookmark's name from the list. To add a bookmark, pan and/or zoom to a new location and click on the 'Add Bookmark' button. Enter a unique name for the bookmark and click ok, and the bookmark will be added to the list.

How it works

  1. Instantiate a new ArcGISMap object and create a BookmarkList with ArcGISMap.getBookmarks().
  2. To create a new bookmark and add it to the bookmark list:
    • Instantiate a new Bookmark object passing in text (the name of the bookmark) and a Viewpoint as parameters.
    • Add the new bookmark to the book mark list with BookmarkList.add(bookmark).
