# 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.

{% endhint %}

## Instructions

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

{% step %}

### Select the *Add Data* button from the ribbon at the top of the workspace

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Navigate to the appropriate folder containing the GeoPackage to be uploaded

The GeoPackage file will look similar to the one in the following screenshot:<br>

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Double-click on the GeoPackage file to reveal the layers within it.

&#x20;Select the layers you want to upload into ArcMap.

{% hint style="info" %}
More than one layer can be selected at any time by holding down the Ctrl (control) key and clicking on multiple layers.
{% endhint %}

Add the relevant selected GeoPackage layers into the map by clicking the *Add* button.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
The GeoPackage layers should now be viewable in the layers list in the Table Of Contents on the left-hand side of the workspace.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.os.uk/osngd/getting-started/downloading-with-os-select+build/getting-started-with-geopackage/arcmap.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
