ArcMap

Accessing GeoPackage data via ArcMap

Requirements

  • ArcMap (version 10.2.2 or later)

  • A GeoPackage dataset

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.

1

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

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

Select the layers you want to upload into ArcMap.

More than one layer can be selected at any time by holding down the Ctrl (control) key and clicking on multiple layers.
