Specify a map's spatial reference.

Use case

Choosing the correct spatial reference is important for ensuring accurate projection of data points to a map.

How to use the sample

Pan and zoom around the map. Observe how the map is displayed using the World Bonne spatial reference.

How it works

  1. Create a Map object using a spatial reference.
  2. Create a Basemap object using an ArcGISMapImageLayer object.
  3. Set the base map to the map.
  4. Set the map to a MapView object.

The ArcGIS map image layer will now use the spatial reference set to the ArcGIS map (World Bonne (WKID: 54024)) and not it's default spatial reference.

Relevant API

  • ArcGISMapImageLayer
  • Basemap
  • Map
  • MapView
  • SpatialReference

Additional information

Operational layers will automatically project to this spatial reference when possible.
