Use WMTS services

Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) services can be used in ArcGIS Pro as map layers. Following are common tasks for working with WMTS service layers.

View a WMTS service layer in the Contents pane

WMTS services are pregenerated images that are stored as small tiles covering the entire map extent and for multiple scales. These services do not have any legend and do not allow you to turn individual sublayers on or off inside the map service layer.

Get information about the WMTS service layer

Information about the WMTS service layer is available on the service layer's Source tab. To access the Source tab, do one of the following:

  • Double-click the service layer in the Contents pane.
  • Right-click on the service layer and click Properties.

The Source tab contains information regarding the WMTS service URL, file (image) format, DPI, cache scales, and coordinate system of the service.

Change the WMTS service layer configuration

The WMTS service layer supports updating its configuration in the WMTS tab on the Layer Properties dialog box. To access the WMTS tab, do one of the following:

  • Double-click the service layer in the Contents pane.
  • Right-click the service layer and click Properties.

The WMTS service layer supports style and tiling scheme configuration properties.

  1. Style—Lists all available representations of the map
  2. Tiling scheme—Lists the WMTS tile matrix sets, which contain information regarding the coordinate system, map scales, extent, tile size, and tile matrix size
