Explorer basemaps

Question

Explorer (IOS) beta does not have an option for basemaps. Will the option to side-load TPK's to use as basemap be coming soon?

**UPDATE** the final release of this corrected the problem and basemaps is now visible to select. Sideloaded TPK's are working.

Hi Brent. I am running the latest explorer beta (19.1.0 (2602) ) and am able to view our offline areas that we generated. I do not, however, see the option to select basemaps from the overflow menu when viewing an offline area (or anywhere). The only options I see are Bookmarks, Legend, Measure, Share Map.

I have placed our TPK's in a folder named Basemaps and into the explorer root (just like we do for collector, where this works)

Am i missing something?

In the 19.1.0 beta which we released last week yes we support the side loading of a TPK and their use as a basemap behind offline areas you downloaded onto the device from your webmap. Is this the functionality you are referring to Marty?
