Hi All, Hopefully a simple question. In the online version of Map Viewer, is there a way to hide the basemap provided. I would like to use a different base layer that I could upload to the layer file but seems like there is no blank option of the default baselayer. It is really annoying since it is based on old USGS topos and has symbols not geolocated (such as wetlands).

Hi folks. This is a really basic question, I know, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I accidentally added a callout with the go to XY tool and cannot remove it. I have searched all over online and in the ArcGIS help page and haven't found anything. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance, Tom

Hi everyone, I am trying to create a map of my organisations 'districts' in Australia. Basically, we have the country split into about 50 districts, with certain postal areas in each district, e.g. 'North Sydney' is a disctrict comprising about 30 postcal codes / suburbs. I want to map these districts, and have created a spreadsheet with each district name and associated postcodes. I can't for the life of me figure out how to use this simple data: District name, postcodes, to create a map / maps of our districts. I have played around with importing a base layer of Australian postcodes, but everytime I try import the data from excel I'm not sure what options to choose to create what I want. I thought a map like this would be simple but a few hours later and it's driving me insane! Any help is much appreciated, Sam

Hi, The measure tool disappeared in my ArcMap. Also, the zoom in and zoom out bar is grayed out in the Data view, but will show in Layout View. My tool panes look like below in the Data View. I appreciate if anyone could help me. Thanks!
