# ArcMap

## Requirements

* ArcMap (version 10.2.2 or later)
* A GeoPackage dataset

{% hint style="info" %}
Certain versions of ArcMap (for example, version 10.8.1) require GeoPackages to have a spatial index added before the data can be viewed on the map. This can be done in the Catalog by opening the Feature Class Properties window within the 'Indexes' page.

## Instructions

These instructions were created using ArcMap version 10.7, but versions from 10.2.2 onwards will also support GeoPackage features.

The GeoPackage layers should now be viewable in the layers list in the Table Of Contents on the left-hand side of the workspace.
