Multiplt Basemaps

[EricSimpson]

Is there a way to customize a web map or web map viewer so that it can switch from one basemap to another when the viewer zooms in beyond a certain extent?  I've found I can sort of achieve this with an image layer that doesn't become visible until I zoom in.  The problem is this image layer sits on top of the basemap, so the user must turn the image layer off if they want to use the Basemap Gallery tool to change the background.

Hi Eric,

Take a look at this thread:

Several basemaps in a one app

There is a lot of discussion about this and you may find some useful info there. It sounds like the answer is "no", but "maybe with lots of tricky customization that could be worth it..."

Hi Eric,

You can set a visible scale range on two separate basemap layers. Here is a sample: http://arcg.is/1oPhHlZ  To see the basemap change, zoom in one level. To create this type of basemap, follow the documentation to make a multi-layer basemap​ and set the visible scale range on the layers.
