ArcGIS Data Appliance: OpenStreetMap Vector Basemaps (OSM Vector Basemaps) is published as a hosted vector tile service from your ArcGIS Enterprise portal along with nine map styles that you can share, use, and customize within your organization. For more information on vector basemaps and the differences between raster and vector tile layers, see Tile layers in the Portal for ArcGIS help.
Refer to the instructional video and help documentation on the OSM Vector Basemaps Additional resources section of the ArcGIS Data Appliance 2022 website to learn how to set up and use OSM Vector Basemaps.
The data is provided exclusively by Esri (OSM) and its contributors through the use of the OSM Daylight Map Distribution data. Esri uses this Daylight Map Distribution data in addition to an expanded building footprint dataset that is a companion to Daylight. This data is used to author the map using OSM cartography and generate a vector tile package.
OSM Vector Basemaps only requires one service published as a hosted vector tile layer from your portal. Other maps are included as map styles that you publish to your portal as tile layers. See Directory of map styles for the vector tile layers included with OSM Vector Basemaps.
