How to make custom basemap with arbitrary location

AdrianWelsh — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 20:13:35 GMT

This may be a simple question but I can't seem a find a simple solution. I have obtained a large image (in jpg format) that I would like to treat as a map (where I can zoom, pan, etc.). I basically want it to be tiled and used as a basemap. No more no less. There is no 'real world' specific location for this either.

Is this something I would need to utilize https://community.esri.com/groups/esri-leaflet?sr=search&searchId=56cfc563-69d4-4729-916d-6e20ec999b0c&searchIndex=0‌ for? Or am I way off? What is the easiest way to take a simple image and be able to treat it like a pan-able zoom-able map (and it doesn't have to be an Esri solution either - I have an organizational https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/arcgisonline?sr=search&searchId=e46c3abd-759e-415d-bff5-db9ce1c2abef&searchIndex=0‌ account, but I'm ok using other means for this).

Thanks!

since its just a single static image and not something you can georeference, if it were me i wouldn't even bother tiling it.

John, this is great! I'll have to toy around with this and see what I can break. Thanks for sharing that link.
