HOW TO

Add an ArcGIS Pro custom basemap to the Basemap gallery in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect

Last Published: July 19, 2023

Summary

A custom basemap is added to geopoint, geotrace, and geoshape question types to display important features specific to a survey region. For example, a custom basemap can be used to display building footprints and labels in an area. In ArcGIS Survey123 Connect, linked custom basemaps are displayed in the Basemap gallery.

Procedure

    1. Author a custom basemap in ArcGIS Pro.
    2. Publish the custom basemap as a web feature layer. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Share a web feature layer using the default configuration for more information.
  2. In ArcGIS Online, add the custom basemap as a feature layer to a web map, and save the web map.
    1. In Map Viewer, open the published feature layer in Step 1b.
    2. Save the map as a web map.
  3. In Survey123 Connect, select the Standard option.
