Hosted tiled map services

Tiled map services support fast visualization of large datasets using a collection of pre-drawn map images, or tiles. Tiled map services provide geographic context for your operational layers. For example, you might include a tiled map service of streets in your neighborhood to provide a visual reference for the street signs in your feature service layer.

You create hosted tiled map services for Portal for ArcGIS by publishing them from ArcMap. Sign in to your portal from ArcMap, and publish a tiled map service to My Hosted Service.

Because the image tiles are pre-created, they cannot be edited. You may choose to include a supporting service in your application that can provide pop-up window information for a tiled map service.
