Description

This layer is designed to support exporting small volumes of basemap tiles for offline use.  The content of this layer is equivalent to World Imagery.  World Imagery provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide.  See World Imagery for more details.

The map service supporting this layer will enable you to export up to 150,000 tiles in a single request.  For estimation purposes, this is large enough to support the export of:
  • Large city (e.g. San Francisco) down to full level of detail at ~1:1,000 scale (Level 19)
  • Medium size state or province (e.g. Colorado) down to scale of ~1:36,000 (Level 14)
  • Medium to large country (e.g. Continental United States) down to scale of ~1:288,000 (Level 11)
This layer is not intended to be used to display live map tiles for use in a web map or web mapping application.  To display map tiles, please use World Imagery basemap.

Service Information for Developers

To export tiles for World Imagery, you must use the instance of the World_Imagery service hosted on the tiledbasemaps.arcgis.com server referenced by this layer (see URL in Contents below), which has the Export Tiles operation enabled.  This layer is intended to support export of basemap tiles for offline use in ArcGIS applications and other applications built with an ArcGIS Runtime SDK.

Hi, If you are trying to use the link below: https://tiledbasemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer), make sure you remove the parenthese ")" at the end of it. *grin*

Hi all, The Export Tiles is working but you need to use the correct parameters. First, make sure you have set the Tile Package parameter to "true" (without the quotes). Then update the "Export By" parameter, e.g. choose Level ID, then in the field below, choose the Level ID you want (see the levels in the Tile Info: https://tiledbasemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer). Then clear the polygon field, and create a feature class and draw a small polygon test area in ArcGIS Pro. Then use the Features to JSON tool in ArcGIS Pro to convert the feature class to JSON. Do not use the "Output to GeoJSON" option. Then copy that JSON into the parameter "Area Of Interest (Polygon): (GPFeatureRecordSetLayer)", and click Export Tiles. You can use GET if your JSON is not too long. If your JSON is long, use POST. Then when the GP service starts running to export the tiles, keep clicking on Check Job Details Again until you see the results (this is an asynchronous service, so you need to keep clicking on Check Job Details Again). When you download the tile package via the result URL, you can then add it to ArcGIS Pro. You will only see the imagery at the level you downloaded for. So, for example, if you downloaded Level 16, the scale for this is 9027.977411. So, you need to view the imagery at scale 9027 in ArcGIS Pro. You can add the ArcGIS/Bing tiling scheme to ArcGIS Pro by clicking on the scale dropdown at the bottom of the map, and clicking customize, and then click load, and select the tiling scheme. Thanks Emile Miranda for helping me figure out the steps to get this working.

I'm trying to generate a tpkx file from this basemap, but it's showing an error. Anyone else having this problem?

Still nothing? Why esri doesn't admit it has copyright problems?

Seems to not be working for the last 3 years. Did ESRI go out of business and this site got left up?
