Customize your map settings

You can choose a default basemap, starting position, and extent in order to streamline the process of creating a mission with ArcGIS Mission Manager by customizing your settings.

Change the default basemap

To change the default basemap, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Basemap dialog button to expand it.
  2. Select a basemap and click to apply it.
  3. Click Save Settings.

    A notification appears at the bottom of the app confirming your change. Your chosen basemap is now the default basemap and will be used whenever a mission is created.

Change the starting position and extent

To change the starting point and extent, complete the following steps:

  1. Locate your starting point on the map manually or by typing a location address in the search bar.
  2. Zoom to the desired scale using the Zoom tool or the mouse wheel.

    A red rectangle is overlayed on the map to provide reference of the maps extent. You may redraw this extent as many times as necessary.

  3. Click Save Settings.

    A notification appears at the bottom of the app confirming your change. Your chosen zoom extent is now the default extent and will be used whenever a mission is created.

You can change these settings at any time. You can also undo changes you make to the default map by clicking Reset to Default.
