Hi
Im using ArcGIS for SharePoint v2.1. I am connecting this web part to ArcGIS Server v10.1 and have downloaded the v10.1 maps from the ESRI website, for example World_Transportation, World_Imagery and World_Boundaries_and_Places.

When I add an item to the ArcGIS Mapping Base Maps SharePoint list one of the required fields is 'Thumbnail Image'.

Can someone direct me to where in the downloads I should be able to find a thumbnail image?

You didn't see so many beautiful images on GOOGLE? Why not choose some and convert them to thumbnail image ,you can have your own personality by creating them.AND onething you need is to find a thumbnail generator  like this from google.It's my opinion ,Im sorry if I did't get the point.

Thanks for the reply.
I guess I was finding it difficult to believe that someone would go to all the trouble of generating the maps and then not provide a thumbnail. So I want to make sure that they actually are not inlcuded and its not a case of me not looking in the right place.

Hi Stiven,

Many of the map services you reference are now located on ArcGIS Online, and you can find the service there and copy the Thumbnail image they use if you like. For example, the World Transportation service is here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=94f838a535334cf1aa061846514b77c7. A thumbnail is included on the page and you can right-click the image and copy it locally and upload it.

Hope that helps,
Katy
