Description

This sample displays a map from ArcGIS Server. The ArcGIS Server map is cached, meaning it has a set of pre-rendered tiles that the server administrator has built to aid performance. For this reason the map is represented by ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer.

If the map service does not have a cache available, use ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer. If you don't know whether a service has a cache available, you can use the Services Directory to find out.

Notice that the constructor for the tiled map service layer includes the URL of the service (http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_Imagery_World_2D/MapServer). Use Services Directory to find out the URLs for your own map services.

This line adds the ArcGIS Server map

map.addLayer(tiledMapServiceLayer);
