Popup for Basemaps?

jjgarrett0 — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 15:00:48 GMT

Is there a way to use popups on the basemaps? Specifically the World Imagery layer. I have a request to include satellite imagery source dates in the popups, but I can't seem to find a straight forward way of setting up popups for the basemaps.

Thanks!

There is no way to display a pop up for a Tile Layer. What you could do is have a click event on your map view, then query the World Image service using that point (https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer/0/query). Since there can be different imagery at the same location at different zoom levels you’d need to include a where statement to check if your current zoom level is between the MinZoomLevel and MaxZoomLevel. The response will return a SRC_DATE2 field, which is the source date. Then display a popup at the click location for the returned polygon.

An easier option would be to add https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer/0 to your map as a feature layer, by default it appears fully transparent with popups enabled.

Thank you! Sorry for the late response but I didn't get notified that I had any responses to this! I ended up utilizing the world imagery feature layer as you suggest.
