Creating and Using Offline (Cached) Maps

If you spend time to cache maps that you use frequently at the zoom and layer level you use often while you are online, you can then use these maps while you are offline.

Procedure

  1. Zoom and pan the map to the desired area that you want to cache
  2. Click the Settings icon, and then select the Offline section.
  3. Select the Basemap to be cached.
  4. Select the Feature Layers you want to cache.
  5. Select the Zoom Level. The slider is already positioned to the current level. Note that the higher the zoom level, the larger the cache size.
  6. Select the Cache button to save the map images.

Results

When network connectivity is lost, you will be prompted to use your offline cached maps that you have created. Alternatively, even if you are online, you can use your cached maps by selecting the Link icon.
