Common attributes for maps using the Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere tiling scheme
All Data Appliance for ArcGIS maps use the Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere tiling scheme (WKID 102100) which is the same tiling scheme that ArcGIS Online, Google Maps, and Bing Maps use.
All Data Appliance for ArcGIS maps use the same coordinate system, map DPI, and tile size. Cached levels of detail for each map and layer match; however, not all maps and layers contain all levels of detail.
Coordinate system: WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere)
Units of measure: esriMeters

- XMin: -20037507.0671618
- YMin: -19971868.8804086
- XMax: 20037507.0671618
- YMax: 19971868.8804086
Spatial reference: 102100 (3857)
Map DPI: 96
Tile size of map cache: 256 pixels by 256 pixels
Levels of detail: The number of cached levels of detail varies among maps. The scale levels are calculated, based upon the tile size (256 by 256) and the WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere coordinate system, such that when tiles are laid out starting at 180W and proceeding eastward, the final tile aligns perfectly (no overlap) with the first tile at the international date line.
These are the standard map scale and cell sizes:
