Custom Basemap

This sample demonstrates how to create a custom basemap and add it to the BasemapToggle widget in a SceneView. The basemap is a simple container of baseLayers and reference layers.

A WebTileLayer is created from a third-party cached service and added to a new basemap's baseLayers property so it can be used as an alternate basemap.
