This vector tile layer provides a detailed basemap for the world symbolized with a light gray, neutral background style with minimal colors, labels, and features that is designed to draw attention to your thematic content. The vector tile layer is similar in content and style to the popular Light Gray Canvas map, which is delivered as two map services with raster fused map cache. This layer is delivered as a vector tile service that provides unique capabilities for customization, high-resolution display, and offline use in mobile devices.This vector tile layer is built using the same data sources used for the Light Gray Canvas and other Esri basemaps. The map includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, and administrative boundaries. 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 Esri web map item already created with this layer.Customize this MapBecause this map is delivered as a vector tile layer, users can customize the map to change its content and symbology. 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. For details on how to customize this map, please refer to these articles on the ArcGIS Online Blog.

This vector tile layer presents the Nova style (World Edition) and provides a detailed basemap for the world, featuring a dark background with glowing blue symbology. The Nova map uses color scheme, with a grid pattern across the ocean and stripes or square stippled patterns for land use features visible at larger scales. The colors are reminiscent of science-fiction shows, where one is looking at a map of the world on a 'head's up' device or a map that would be projected from a transparent glass wall. Additional graphics in the oceans presents a futuristic user interface. The futuristic and less terrestrial feel theme continues with the geometric patterns, starburst city dot symbols, and cool color scheme. The fonts displayed are clean and squarish (san serif) with a futuristic, science-fiction, or high technology appearance. This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization, high-resolution display, and use in mobile devices.This vector tile layer is built using the same data sources used for other Esri Vector Basemaps. For details on data sources contributed by the GIS community, view the map of Community Maps Basemap Contributors. Esri Vector Basemaps are updated monthly.This layer is used in the Nova Map web map included in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.See the Vector Basemaps group for other vector tile layers.

The topographic data includes constructed and natural features that make up Ontario’s landscape.

The cache provides limited data from areas outside Ontario’s boundaries, such as the United States and adjacent provinces and territories.

Technical information Two versions of the LIO Topographic Data Cache are available:

The traditional raster version is available for a variety of GIS applications and is updated annually. The vector version is suitable for online web map applications as well as modern GIS software and is updated twice a year. Contributing data layers may have different maintenance and update cycles.

Some cache layers have been processed in a way that makes it easier for them to be displayed in a mapping product. Other layers are unchanged from the authoritative data.

The cartographic symbology used in the data cache is intentionally muted to allow users to showcase their data.The LIO Vector Topographic Data Cache is created from many source datasets as described in the LIO Topographic Data Cache user guide. If you are interested in obtaining this authoritative data, you can download it from the Ontario GeoHub.

This product is a globally seamless adaptation of the U.S. Government's Digital Chart of the World (Vector Smart Map Level 0 [VMap0], Edition 5) produced by Global Mapping International in ESRI shapefile format, with added country polygons and updated first-level subdivisions of countries. The underlying Digital Chart of the World was developed by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (now the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency)of the U.S. government. GMI has merged the DCW into seamless, global shapefile layers (the original consists of four separate libraries, each divided into dozens of tiles).GMI has also provided sample map project and layer files applying appropriate cartographic symbology to the complex classification system of VMap0). The VMap0 data was compiled from the Operational Navigational Chart (ONC) series of air navigation maps with a scale of 1:1,000,000.Full information about VMAP Level 0, edition 5 is contained in MIL-PRF-89039 PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION - VECTOR SMART MAP (VMap) Level 0 as amended (VMAP0_spec.pdf)GMI has also provided sample map project and layer files applying appropriate cartographic symbology to the complex classification system of VMap 0 when using the shapefiles in ArcGIS version 8.3 and above.
