ArcGIS Data Appliance: Open Vector Basemaps provides detailed maps from contributors with local knowledge that you can use with your ArcGIS and web applications. Vector tiles enable dynamic cartography and provide the flexibility to create your own basemap style. The vector basemaps are available as tile layers that can be added to existing maps as either a basemap or an overlay layer.
