Creating a new Ground Overlay would be easier if :

  • ArcGIS Earth would auto-detect the aspect ratio of the image used and adapt the existing bounding box rather than stretching the image.

  • The corner handles would preserve the aspect ratio (only the side handles would change it).

Thank you !

Yes, when I made the comment, I saw that it was addressed to @ZheZheng. It is weird that it changed to AnonymousUser...

Hi @GeoffroyRicher-Lalonde, I can understand how that might look strange but can confirm it was expected. I'm a Community Managers for Esri Community and one of the things our team assists with is consolidation when a member unintentionally ends up with more than one account. When an account disappears, its posts migrate to a preservation account called Anonymous User. That's why I tagged @ZheZheng, so that their remaining account would stay subscribed to this post and there'd be a record of the change. All the best!
