Display an offline map (on-demand)

Learn how to download and display an offline map for a user-defined geographical area of a web map.

display an offline map on demand

Offline maps allow users to continue working when network connectivity is poor or lost. If a web map is enabled for offline use, a user can request that ArcGIS generates an offline map for a specified geographic area of interest.

In this tutorial, you will download an offline map for an area of interest from the web map of the stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA . You can then use this offline map without a network connection.

Before starting this tutorial:

Optionally, you may want to install the ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET to get access to project templates in Visual Studio (Windows only) and offline copies of the NuGet packages.

Steps

Open a Visual Studio solution

  1. To start the tutorial, complete the Display a web map tutorial or download and unzip the solution.

  2. Open the .sln file in Visual Studio.

  3. If you downloaded the solution, get an access token and set the API key.

Update the tutorial name used in the project (optional)

The Visual Studio solution, project, and the namespace for all classes currently use the name DisplayAWebMap. Follow the steps below if you prefer the name to reflect the current tutorial. These steps are not required, your code will still work if you keep the original name.

Get the web map item ID

You can use ArcGIS tools to create and view web maps. Use the Map Viewer to identify the web map item ID. This item ID will be used later in the tutorial.

  1. Go to the Naperville water network in the Map Viewer in ArcGIS Online. This web map displays stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA .
  2. Make a note of the item ID at the end of the browser's URL. The item ID should be:

    acc027394bc84c2fb04d1ed317aac674

    .

Display the web map

You can display a web map using the web map's item ID. Create a map from the web map portal item, and display it in your app.

  1. In the Visual Studio > Solution Explorer, double-click MapViewModel.cs to open the file.

  2. Add additional required using statements at the top of the class.

  3. In MapViewModel.cs, modify the SetupMap() function to update the web map's item ID to that of the Naperville water network.

    The existing code creates a PortalItem using the item ID and an ArcGISPortal referencing ArcGIS Online. It sets the MapViewModel.Map property to a new Map created using the PortalItem.

  4. Click Debug > Start Debugging (or press <F5> on the keyboard) to run the app.

You should see a map of the stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA . Use the mouse to drag, scroll, and double-click the map view to explore the map.

Specify an area of the web map to take offline

You can specify an area of the web map to take offline using either an Envelope or a Polygon. You can use a graphic to display the area on the map.

  1. In the MapViewModel class, create a new property named GraphicsOverlays. This will be a collection of GraphicsOverlay to display a graphic of the area to take offline.

  6. Click Debug > Start Debugging (or press <F5> on the keyboard) to run the app.

You should see a red outline on the stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA . This indicates the area of the web map that you are going to take offline.

Download and display the offline map

You can generate and download an offline map for a specified area of interest using an asynchronous task. When complete, it will provide the offline map for display in your map view.

  1. Return to the MapViewModel.cs file and add code to the SetupMap function to create an OfflineMapTask that references the online map by calling the static OfflineMapTask.CreateAsync method.

  5. Create a function called GenerateJob_ProgressChanged. This function will respond when the job completes or fails and will track the precent complete as the job runs. Add a try/catch block to handle exceptions and start by getting a reference to the GenerateOfflineMapJob, passed in as the sender argument.
