You have just added Hillshading to the Grand Teton National Park map.
Now, Let use ArcGIS Pro 2.2 to and the Publisher Extension to share the map with everyone and make the map useable by anyone who has Explorer for ArcGIS.
Check to see if you have the Publisher Extension. Click the Project tab.
Check the Licensing Status for the Publisher Extension.
If you are licensed for the Publisher Extension you can create maps that can be used by anyone. If you are not licensed for the Publisher extension, users of the Mobile Map (.mmpk) that you create will need to be signed into ArcGIS Online or Enterprise organization to use it.
Share a Mobile Map - On the Share tab click the Mobile Map button to open the Package Mobile Map pane.
Fill out the inputs on the Package Mobile Map pane. If you have the Publisher Extension you can Enable the map for anonymous use.
Click the Package button to upload the Mobile Map to your Organization and share it with everyone.
Note: You can also use the Create Mobile Map Package geoprocessing tools to create a mobile map and share it. You can use python to automate the mobile map creation process.
If the map was created for anonymous use any Explorer user can use Explorer without signing in.
And Search For “Grand Teton National Park with Hillshade” to download the map and use it.
Woot! That’s it for now…
