Create an offline map

You have two options to create a mobile map packageA mobile map package (MMPK) is a standalone file that contains one or more map definitions, including the basemap layers, data layers, layer styles, and pop-up styles for use in offline applications built with ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps.Learn more with ArcGIS ProArcGIS Pro is a professional desktop GIS application that can explore, visualize, analyze, and manage 2D and 3D data.Learn more:

• Use the Create Mobile Map Package tool.
  1. Locate the ArcGIS Pro tool called Create Mobile Map Package in the Data Management Toolbox. You can use this to create a mobile map package containing any number of mapsA map is a collection of layers that are displayed in 2D. It is typically composed of a basemap layer and data layers.Learn more.
  2. If needed, set an expiration date on the mobile map package. This is available with ArcGIS Pro 2.4 (or later) with the ArcGIS Publisher extension license.
  3. If you want to include online layersA layer is a reference to a collection of geographic data that is used to access and display data. The data for layers are typically provided by the basemap layer service and data services.Learn more and tablesA table is a non-spatial dataset in a feature service. All records in a table share the same set of fields.Learn more in the maps, you need to check Reference online content. This is available with ArcGIS Pro 2.6 (or later).
  4. Save the package to ArcGIS OnlineArcGIS Online is a GIS mapping, analytics, data hosting, and content management software as a service (SaaS) product. It includes applications, tools, APIs, and location services for users and developers. It is subscription-based and requires an ArcGIS Online account.Learn more, ArcGIS EnterpriseArcGIS Enterprise is a GIS mapping, analytics, data hosting, and content management product that can be hosted on-premise or in a cloud infrastructure.
