Lesson 5b - Using the National Map Web Services in ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online

In this lesson, we will provide an overview and demonstrate how to use The National Map’s web services in a mapping application. Although downloading data from The National Map is a popular option for many users, there are numerous situations where it may be preferable to simply call TNM web services into your mapping application. By using The National Map services, you can minimize data storage issues and eliminate the need to download data on a regular basis to maintain currentness. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to use The National Map web services in a mapping application by adding them as ArcGIS Server REST services.
