Description

World Transportation presents transportation data, including highways, roads, railroads, and airports for the world. This map should be overlaid on imagery basemaps.

The map was developed by Esri using Esri highway data; Garmin basemap layers; HERE street data for North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Central America, select countries in Africa, India, and most of the Middle East; and OpenStreetMap contributors in select countries in Africa and the Pacific Islands. A specific country list and documentation of Esri's process for including OSM data are in OSM Data Usage in Esri's ArcGIS Online Basemaps (PDF).
