Two days ago I shared the Star Map Earth Data Cloud online map: Missing image source? Check out this useful and stunning online satellite map! Orvi and GIS software can be added. However, the only drawback is that they do not currently support ArcGIS (currently in production and will be announced later). So today we will summarize loading various online maps in ArcGIS.
1. Map plug-in
If you want to load various online maps, the most convenient thing is the map plug-in, which can be used in one step. There are also many related plug-ins on the Internet. Among these plug-ins, the official plug-ins of Datahe are more useful.
The map data is relatively rich. For a detailed introduction, you can read this article: Can Google’s unoffset satellite images be loaded into ArcGIS? There are actually historical images? !

In the newly popped-up webpage, you can see the addresses of many online services, but these addresses are followed by the words [your key], which means that you need certain permissions to use these online services. We only You need to click Apply for Key and follow the process to apply.
You can also click on the console here (first of all, you must have your own registered account.

The key is available.
