A map service is a data service that provides map images for display in a client application. The images can be rendered dynamically for a specific extent or pre-rendered and cached in a tile grid as static images. A map service can also provide access to the underlying feature layer data used to create the map images. Map services are typically created and published with ArcGIS Pro.
