These hosted services come in two types: feature layers and tile layers. Tile layers support fast visualization of large datasets using a collection of predrawn map images, or tiles. See <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/share-maps\/hosted-web-layers.htm\" target=\"_blank\">About hosted web layers<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>ArcGIS for Desktop allows you to build tiles for a map document and store them in an easily transferable tile package (.tpk file). You can share a tile package on ArcGIS Online and publish it as a hosted tile layer. This workflow allows you to build tiles using your own computing power, rather than your ArcGIS Online credits, so is a very economical way to create hosted tile layers for your mapping needs.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps to create and publish tile packages using ArcGIS for Desktop. Note that you will need publish privileges in your ArcGIS organization to publish the hosted layer.
