Display an offline map (on demand)

Learn how to download and display an offline map for a user-defined geographical area of a web map.

Offline maps allow users to continue working when network connectivity is poor or lost. If a web map is enabled for offline use, a user can request that ArcGIS generates an offline map for a specified geographic area of interest.

In this tutorial, you will download an offline map for an area of interest from the web map of the stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA . You can then use this offline map without a network connection.

Prerequisites

Steps

Get the web map item ID

You can use ArcGIS tools to create and view web maps. Use the Map Viewer to identify the web map item ID. This item ID will be used later in the tutorial.

1. Go to the Naperville water network in the Map Viewer in ArcGIS Online. This web map displays stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA .
2. Make a note of the item ID at the end of the browser's URL. The item ID should be:

   acc027394bc84c2fb04d1ed317aac674

Create a new ArcGIS Maps Qt Creator Project

1. Start Qt Creator.

2. Click File > New File or Project. Under Projects, select ArcGIS.

3. Select the ArcGIS Maps 200.4.0 Qt Quick C++ app project template (or a later version) and click Choose.

   More info

   You may have several selections for the ArcGIS project type. Be sure to select ArcGIS Maps 200.4.0 Qt Quick C++ app (or a later version).

4. In the Project Location dialog, name your project display_an_offline_map. Click Next.

5. In the Define Build System dialog, select qmake for your build system. Click Next.

6. In the Define Project Details dialog, give this app a description or leave it as is. Leave the rest of this dialog as is.

7. Leave the 3D project box unchecked. At the ArcGIS Online Basemap dropdown menu, select Streets. Then click Next.

8. On the Kit Selection dialog, check the kit(s) you previously set up when you installed the API. You should select a Desktop kit to run this tutorial. Then click Next.

9. At the Project Management dialog, the option to Add as a subproject to root project is only available if you have already created a root project. Ignore this dialog for this tutorial. Click Next.

Set your API key

An API key is required to enable access to services, web maps, and web scenes hosted in ArcGIS Online.

If you haven't already, go to your developer dashboard to get your API key. For these tutorials, use your default API key. It is scoped to include all of the services demonstrated in the tutorials.

Display the web map

You can display a web map using the web map's item ID. Create a map from the web map portal item, and display it in your app.

1. In Projects, double-click Headers > Display_an_offline_map.h to open the file. Add the following classes to the header file.

   Display_an_offline_map.h

7. Press Ctrl + R to run the app.

   You should see a map of the stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA. Use the mouse to drag, scroll, and double-click the map view to explore the map.

2. Begin to implement the generateMapByExtent() function. Use EnvelopeBuilder to set four parameters and then call toEnvelope() to create the envelope.

3. Add a graphic to generateMapByExtent() to show the area you will take offline.

   Create a Graphic using the envelope, SimpleFillSymbol and SimpleLineSymbol. From this create a GraphicsOverlay and add it to the mapView.

4. Press Ctrl + R to run the app.

   You should see a red outline on the stormwater network within Naperville, IL, USA. This indicates the area of the web map that you are going to take offline.

Download and display the offline map

1. Add the following createDefaultGenerateOfflineMapParametersAsync method that creates a GenerateOfflineMapParameters object. These offline map parameters will serves as the input to create a GenerateOfflineMapJob. Store the resulting offline mobile map package (MMPK) at a desired local folder. Don't add a closing brace yet.

Initially, you should see the map of the stormwater network for Naperville, IL, USA, with a red outline as before. At the Application Output tab in Creator, the Job status percentage should increment up to 100%, and then you should see the offline map for the specified area of the stormwater network for Naperville, IL, USA. Remove your network connection and you will still be able to use the mouse to drag, scroll, and double-click the map view to explore this offline map.
