Projecting ArcGIS Online Basemap

[MattGiles]

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to project the ArcGIS Online Basemap into a projection other than web mercator.
Cheers

As far as I'm aware, it isn't possible to do this. Using a tiled basemap such as Google, Bing or the ESRI samples means you're tied into the Web Mercator projection.

The alternative is to create your own tiled basemap using your desired coordinate system.

Cheers,
Steve

This is an important informatio. I don't know why it is included in professional library guide books. I have looked both in geographic transformation section and working with basemaps section.

More importantly though I was trying to project my data  which is in North_America_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic into the basemap's WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere (after performing transformation a a fly) and they don't align properly anyway.
