For example, drawing a line in the image will project as a line on the map. If you use a point feature layer, you can draw a point, line, or polygon in the image, but the feature will always be stored as a point on the ground. For instance, if you draw a bounding box around a broken window in the image, the center of that box will be saved as a point on your map.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/help\/data\/imagery\/oriented-imagery-viewer.htm\">Get started with data capture<\/a> in the oriented imagery viewer in ArcGIS Pro.<\/p>\n<h2>Add images from a frames &amp; cameras table or a mosaic dataset<\/h2>\n<p>Users who have aligned their imagery using ArcGIS Reality or ortho mapping can now leverage refined metadata to enhance the accuracy of oriented imagery visualization and analysis. This improvement makes it easier to display and work with full-resolution aerial or drone imagery within your GIS, while benefiting from post-alignment accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>The Add Images to Oriented Imagery Dataset tool now supports as input:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A<a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/tool-reference\/data-management\/export-frame-and-camera-parameters.htm\"> frames and cameras table<\/a> (CSV) or<br \/>\nA mosaic dataset built with Aerial Imagery raster types.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Manage oblique aerial images with camera offset<\/h2>\n<p>Use the CameraOffset parameter (X;Y) to account for large differences between the camera location and point of interest on the ground. Defining CameraOffset helps the software select the correct image when oblique imagery creates a large horizontal separation between the image\u2019s exposure point and its footprint.<\/p>\n<h2>Disconnected environment support<\/h2>\n<p>ArcGIS Pro now supports the oriented imagery viewer in offline environments. Define a local ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript installation or use the Portal for ArcGIS instance via the JavaScriptSourcePath setting.<\/p>\n<h1>New in ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0<\/h1>\n<p>In addition to the new navigation and triangulated measurement tools discussed above:<\/p>\n<p>Administrators can now update oriented imagery layer properties via the ArcGIS REST API without republishing the entire layer, streamlining service management and eliminating unnecessary republishing. (This is already an option in ArcGIS Online.)<\/p>\n<h1>ArcGIS Online updates<\/h1>\n<p>We also have a few new features that are only in ArcGIS Online for now (watch for triangulated measurement and COG\/MRF support for 360\u00b0 images in upcoming releases of Pro and Enterprise).<\/p>\n<h2>Triangulated measurement for 360\u00b0 imagery<\/h2>\n<p>Previously limited to frame images, triangulated measurement now works with 360\u00b0 and panoramic imagery. For best results, select images captured from significantly different directions (facing opposite directions driving down a road, for example).<\/p>\n<h2>Support for COG and MRF formats<\/h2>\n<p>The viewer now supports 360\u00b0 images stored in COG and MRF formats, improving performance for large images.<\/p>\n<p>These tiled file formats enable more efficient image storage and retrieval, improving loading and display performance for smoother interaction with large or high-resolution imagery.<\/p>\n<p>Currently only MRF with Deflate compression and COG images with Deflate and JPEG compressions are supported.<\/p>\n<h2>Improved map extent handling in Experience Builder<\/h2>\n<p>App creators can now configure whether the map or scene automatically navigates to the layer extent or maintains the current map view when switching layers in the Oriented Imagery Viewer widget.<\/p>\n<p>If \u201cNavigate to layer extent\u201d is turned on, the app automatically pans and zooms to the full extent of the selected oriented imagery layer. This is helpful when you have multiple layers covering different areas. When you select a new layer in the oriented imagery viewer, the app will zoom to that layer\u2019s extent.<\/p>\n<p>If \u201cNavigate to layer extent\u201d is turned off, the app keeps the current map extent, whether defined by the web map, customized in the app configuration, or set by the end user. This is useful when multiple layers cover the same area and you want to maintain your current perspective while switching between datasets.<\/p>\n<h1>Bringing it all together<\/h1>\n<p>The latest updates bring oriented imagery workflows a big step forward. With new navigation options, smarter measurement tools, and easier ways to manage imagery, exploring and analyzing your imagery is now more intuitive and accurate. Whether you\u2019re reviewing image collections, capturing features, or fine-tuning how you manage your oriented imagery layer, these enhancements help you work faster and with greater confidence.<\/p>\n"}],"related_articles":"","show_article_image":false,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/TriangulatedMeasurementBlogImage.png","wide_image":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What\u2019s New in Oriented Imagery (November 2025) New navigation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New oriented imagery tools in ArcGIS, including navigation and measurement tools, feature capture, management tools, and more\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/imagery\/whats-new-in-oriented-imagery-november-2025-new-navigation-and-measurement-tools\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What\u2019s New in Oriented Imagery (November 2025)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New oriented imagery tools in ArcGIS, including navigation and measurement tools, feature capture, management tools, and more\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/imagery\/whats-new-in-oriented-imagery-november-2025-new-navigation-and-measurement-tools\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ArcGIS Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/esrigis\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ESRI\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"8 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":[\"Article\",\"BlogPosting\"],\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/imagery\/whats-new-in-oriented-imagery-november-2025-new-navigation-and-measurement-tools#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/imagery\/whats-new-in-oriented-imagery-november-2025-new-navigation-and-measurement-tools\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Emily Windahl\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/#\/schema\/person\/3fd53431d602dbeea002141065f09919\"},\"headline\":\"What\u2019s New in Oriented Imagery (November 2025)\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-12-24T03:08:30+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/imagery\/whats-new-in-oriented-imagery-november-2025-new-navigation-and-measurement-tools\"},\"wordCount\":7,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"aerial oblique imagery\",\"feature capture\",\"Measurement\",\"oriented imagery\",\"street-level imagery\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Announcements\",\"Imagery &amp;
