Adding a tiled map service from ArcGIS Online to Leaflet

AdrianWelsh

So, I really don't know what I'm doing at times. I hope this is a simple question. I have a tiled map service that I published to the cloud in https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/arcgisonline?sr=search&searchId=8d391d6f-63e6-4084-9d28-153bf05f8834&searchIndex=0 of a jpg that is georeferenced. I want to show this in Leaflet but I am not exactly sure how to do this (the purpose is that I want to add some points to it afterwards that will have popup info, etc - I just want the image as the "basemap").

I posted a leaflet question a couple of months ago that John Gravois‌ helped me with, here: How to make custom basemap with arbitrary location . He posted great sample that showed me how to add a loose image to a map without it being georeferenced with this code: JS Bin - Collaborative JavaScript Debugging (that I use all the time!).

In any case, what is a simple way to make a quick leaflet example that will show my tiled service as the "basemap"? Or is this not possible?

Thanks in advance!

you just aren't zoomed in close enough.

i figured that out by snooping the web traffic in the JSAPI sample viewer that ships with the service.

John,

I appreciate the help. I am not sure how to snoop the web traffic, but I am glad you figured that out.

From the new code, my map showed up (changing the zoom numbers). Though, when it gets zoomed in closer, the image gets real grainy and does not behave as I would expect. Plus, sometimes the tiles disappear. Is this an issue with the service or with something else?
