Change a map’s basemap. A basemap is beneath all layers on a map and is used to provide visual reference for the operational layers.

Use case
Basemaps should be selected contextually. For example, in maritime applications, it would be more appropriate to use a basemap of the world’s oceans as opposed to a basemap of the world’s streets.
How to use the sample
Tap the map button to show or hide the basemap gallery. Select a basemap in the gallery to apply it to the map.
How it works
- Create an
ArcGISMapobject with an initial basemap style. - Set the map to the
ArcGISMapViewControllerobject. - Create a
BasemapGalleryControllerand set the map to thegeoModelproperty. - Create a
BasemapGallerywidget using theBasemapGalleryController.
Relevant API
- ArcGISMap
- ArcGISMapViewController
- Basemap
- BasemapGallery
- BasemapGalleryController
Additional information
This sample uses the BasemapGallery toolkit component from the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter Toolkit. The component supports selecting 2D and 3D basemaps from ArcGIS Online, a user-defined portal, or a collection of basemaps.
