ArcGIS Pro

Accessing OS Maps API via ESRI ArcGIS Pro

ESRI ArcGIS Pro is a desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) software that allows you to create, analyse, and share maps and geographic data.

What you need

• OS Maps API added to an API project in the OS Data Hub with an API Key. See Getting started with an API project for more information.

• ArcGIS Pro (version 2.3.3 or later)

Note: We used ESRI ArcGIS Pro 2.3.3 to create these instructions.

6. Click OK to add OS Maps API to the catalog under servers.
