Geometry Service

CartoPac requires a Geometry Service from an ArcGIS Server in order to download features by Area of Interest (AOI).  When CartoPac Server is initially configured, there is a default Geometry Service provided from ArcGISOnline.  While this service is fine to use for small collection projects, it is not recommended for larger long term Server Deployments.  

The Geometry Service tab on the Map and Esri Service Administration page defines what ArcGIS Geometry Service is used for capturing coordinate information in the map viewer.
