This vector tile layer, last updated in October 2017, provides a detailed basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri topographic map style. This vector tile layer is similar in content and style to the World Topographic Map, which is delivered as raster fused map cache tile layer. This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization and high-resolution display.This layer includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, and administrative boundaries, designed for use with shaded relief for added context. The map is built using the same data sources used for the World Topographic Map raster basemap and other Esri basemaps. Alignment of boundaries is a presentation of the feature provided by our data vendors and does not imply endorsement by Esri or any governing authority.Use this MapThis map is designed to be used as a basemap layer or reference layer in a web map. You can add this layer to a web map and save as your own map. If you would like to use this map as a basemap layer in a web map, you may use the vector basemap Topographic web map.Customize this MapBecause this map is delivered as a vector tile layer, users can customize the map to change its content and symbology, including fonts. Users are able to turn on and off layers, change symbols for layers, switch to alternate local language (in some areas), and refine the treatment of disputed boundaries. See the Vector Basemap group for other vector tile layers. For details on how to customize this map, please refer to these articles on the ArcGIS Online Blog and view the Esri Vector Basemaps Reference Document.

This web map features a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data created and hosted by Esri.

Mature Support Notice: This item is in mature support as of December 2024. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version. See blog for more information.This web map presents a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data hosted by Esri. This version of the map is rendered in a style similar to the Esri Navigation map. Created from the sunsetted Daylight map distribution, data updates supporting this layer are no longer available.OpenStreetMap is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Volunteers gather location data using GPS, local knowledge, and other free sources of information and upload it. The resulting free map can be viewed and downloaded from the OpenStreetMap site: www.OpenStreetMap.org. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project. Precise Tile Registration: The web map uses the improved tiling scheme “WGS84 Geographic, Version 2” to ensure proper tile positioning at higher resolutions (neighborhood level and beyond). The new tiling scheme is much more precise than tiling schemes of the legacy basemaps Esri released years ago. We recommend that you start using this new basemap for any new web maps in WGS84 that you plan to author. Due to the number of differences between the old and new tiling schemes, some web clients will not be able to overlay tile layers in the old and new tiling schemes in one web map.

This web map contains the same layers as the Imagery with Labels basemap that is available in the basemap gallery of ArcGIS.com's map viewer, ArcGIS Explorer Online, ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, and the mobile clients. The Imagery with Labels basemap contains the World Imagery map service with the Boundaries and Places map service drawn on top. When you use this basemap in a web map, any map services that you add into the map get sandwiched between the imagery and the labels drawn on top, so this is a good basemap you use if you want to see services that don't contain their own labels with imagery drawn behind them and reference labels drawn on top.This web map also includes the World Transportation map service. This service shows streets, roads and highways and their names. When you zoom in to the highest level of detail the lines disappear and you just see the street names and road numbers.Feedback: Have you ever seen a problem in the Esri World Imagery Map that you wanted to see fixed?

Beneath every engaging web map lies an unsung hero... a basemap! Basemaps help you to provide context to your geospatial data, and for many years we have offered raster basemaps in the New Zealand Transverse Mercator (NZTM) projection using New Zealand data. However, over the past year we've been working hard on the next generation of New Zealand basemaps: vector basemaps.At the end of 2019, we released our first New Zealand Vector Basemap, and since then we have been actively working on adding new styles and updating the datasets which they comprise. Our aim, being to provide you with the most up-to-date basemaps which complement your own operational layers.To date, we have released the following styles:

Background: This ArcGIS Pro template is meant to be a starting point for your map book projects and is based on best practices by the USNG National Implementation Center (TUNIC) at Delta State University and is hosted by the NAPSG Foundation. This does not replace previous templates created in ArcMap, but is a new experimental approach to making map books. We will continue to refine this template and work with other organizations to make improvements over time. So please send us your feedback admin@publicsafetygis.org and comments below. Instructions: Download the zip file by clicking on the thumbnail or the Download button.Unzip the file to an appropriate location on your computer (C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\ArcGIS\Projects is a common location for ArcGIS Pro Projects).Open the USNG Map book Project File (APRX).If the Task is not already open by default, navigate to Catalog > Tasks > and open 'Create a US National Grid Map Book' Follow the instructions! This task will have some automated processes and models that run in the background but you should pay close attention to the instructions so you also learn all of the steps. This will allow you to innovate and customize the template for your own use.FAQsWhat is US National Grid? The US National Grid (USNG) is a point and area reference system that provides for actionable location information in a uniform format. Its use helps achieve consistent situational awareness across all levels of government, disciplines, and threats & hazards – regardless of your role in an incident.One of the key resources NAPSG makes available to support emergency responders is a basic USNG situational awareness application. See the NAPSG Foundation and USNG Center websites for more information.What is an ArcGIS Pro Task? A task is a set of preconfigured steps that guide you and others through a workflow or business process. A task can be used to implement a best-practice workflow, improve the efficiency of a workflow, or create a series of interactive tutorial steps. See "What is a Task?" for more information.Do I need to be proficient in ArcGIS Pro to use this template? We feel that this is a good starting point if you have already taken the ArcGIS Pro QuickStart Tutorials. While the task will automate many steps, you will want to get comfortable with the map layouts and other new features in ArcGIS Pro.Is this template free? This resources is provided at no-cost, but also with no guarantees of quality assurance or support at this time. Can't I just use ArcMap? Ok - here you go. USNG 1:24K Map Template for ArcMapKnown Limitations and BugsZoom To: It appears there may be a bug or limitation with automatically zooming the map to the proper extent, so get comfortable with navigation or zoom to feature via the attribute table.FGDC Compliance: We are seeking feedback from experts in the field to make sure that this meets minimum requirements. At this point in time we do not claim to have any official endorsement of standardization. File Size: Highly detailed basemaps can really add up and contribute to your overall file size, especially over a large area / many pages. Consider making a simple "Basemap" of street centerlines and building footprints.We will do the best we can to address limitations and are very open to feedback!
