Google Maps engine is being retired on September 1, 2026.
Organizations still using Google Maps must switch to Esri Maps before September 1.
Esri Maps now includes Google's Satellite, Hybrid, and Street basemaps as options in the layer picker, so you keep the same imagery while gaining native Lines and Polygons, direct ArcGIS Feature Service Layer connectivity and the new Lasso Tool.
Any organization still on Google Maps on September 1 will be automatically switched to Esri Maps — switching now lets you control the timing instead of waiting for the automatic change.
This help document will guide you through switching your organization to Esri Maps.
Note: This is an organization level setting. Only users with "Owner" permissions can change this setting. Contact your organization's "Owner(s)" if you'd like to see a switch between map engines.
Switching between Esri and Google Maps
In the Fulcrum Web App, in the left navigation panel, click on "Organization Profile"
Under the "Map Settings" section, you will see two radio buttons for "Esri Maps" and "Google Maps". Select your map engine of choice.
Remember to click "Save Changes" after selecting your choice.
Selecting Google Maps as the default map engine disables Feature Service Layers and ArcGIS.com functionality.
