Additional Information

This is related to the extent of the data specified and the default cell size that is calculated for analysis. In Map Viewer Classic, the default is set to 'Use current map extent' (check the box at the bottom of the tool). In the new map viewer (Map Viewer), the default falls to the environment settings, which is 'Full extent (of input)'. The default extent falls on the tool that uses the full extent of input points. Based on the input provided, there are points in Ireland and across North America, so the default cell size is calculated based on a very large extent compared to running in the users' 3.x example where the map extent is specified to a small local area near Dublin. ({&context={"extent":{"xmin":-752642.4301407391,"ymin":7032310.7655911315,"xmax":-748467.057470667,"ymax":7040336.653561065,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100,"latestWkid":3857}}}}) The cellSizeUnit parameter does not affect the analysis. This parameter comes from the default REST and is supposed to be hidden.

Workaround

Set the environment extent in the new map viewer analysis tool to 'use display extent' or 'specify'. By default this is the setting in the classic analysis tool (check the box at the bottom of tool).
