Two Basemaps on Local Government Applications

[BrianMcLeer1]

I am running a few applications like Citizen Service request. Our area does not have aerial imagery, so if I want to use an image basemap I use this service: http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer.  I created a cached basemap ffrom the ImageReferenceOverlay basemap which is a streets layer that is meant to overlay imagery. I am having trouble including this basemap into the Imagery Basemap that ESRI provides. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

Hello Brian,

Just to clarify, are you having issues getting both basemaps to show up in your application?  If so, the issue might lie in how you cached your own basemap.  In order for these two cached services to run side by side, they need to use the same tiling scheme.

To check this, you can open up both REST endpoints (ESRI's cached basemap service and your own cached basemap), and compare the details found under "Tile Info:".  These need to match. 

When publishing my own cached basemaps to work with ESRI cached basemaps, I always select "ArcGIS Online/Bing Maps/Google Maps" for the tiling scheme. This seems to match up with what ESRI uses, and makes the basemaps usable together.

I've attached a jpg showing where to set this in the service editor. Hope this helps[ATTACH=CONFIG]29487[/ATTACH]

My overlay street layer has been cached. What I am trying to do is overlay the ESRI imagery basemap with my street overlay cached layer at the same time. If our organization had our own imagery I would be able to cache the Imagery with a road overlay layer in one basemap. However I would like two basemaps to appear using ESRI imagery and my Road Reference Overlay Layer.
