How to open Stamen basemaps .pkinfo file?

[JoshuaChan]

somebody sent me a link to Stamen basemaps. The page includes a link to make it work with ArcGIS Desktop that allows you to download a ".pkinfo" file.

But that .pkinfo file is not recognized by ArcMap 10-1 nor ArcCatalog 10-1. And I cannot do anything with it in Windows Explorer. The Help doesn't say anything about .pkinfo files.

there's an old forum post that mentions support in 10.1 but I haven't been able to figure out how to make that work yet.

Any help?

Tile layers are a new layer type and, as I understand it, will be supported in desktop 10.2.

Thanks,

Mike

so doesn't work in 10.1?

No, they don't work in 10.1. They will only work when 10.2 is release, around July.

Thanks,

Mike
