00005: Layer type is not supported

  • Solutions
  • More information

A layer in your document is not supported for use in basemap layers, map services, or feature services such as those residing on My Hosted Services.

Solutions

  • Use one of the layer types that are supported for basemap layers or map services.
  • An alternative approach is to remove the unsupported layer from your document.

More information

Some layers are quite advanced and are used to display intricate cartography. Maps containing these layer types tend to render more slowly. Many types of layers are not supported for basemap layers or map services because they draw slowly.
