Offline packaging service

Description

The OfflinePackaging service creates and manages map areas. Map areas make it easier and faster for your users to work offline by packaging the map for a specific area ahead of time. Currently, map areas are only supported when using your own runtime app. For more information about the preplanned workflow, see Mapping APIs and location services. You can create map areas using ArcGIS API for Python or directly through REST calls.
