Use OSM Vector Basemaps

With the addition of vector tile packages (.vtpk), hosted tile layers, and tile layers in your portal, you will have a number of items in your ArcGIS Enterprise Content window. With the correct administrative privileges, you can create folders, groups, and categories. By creating folders and moving items into them, you can organize your Content window to make it easier to find the items you are looking for. The following image shows some folder name suggestions. See Manage content in the Portal for ArcGIS help for information on managing content in ArcGIS Enterprise.

You can use OSM Vector Basemaps in your applications in the following ways:

  • The nine map tile layers (styles) can be added to a map in ArcGIS Pro or to Map Viewer in your Enterprise portal.

  • The tile layers (styles) can be added to an existing basemap, or they can be added as the basemap.

    My Content with Add to Map selected

  • Three of the nine map tile layers (styles) can be used with a raster layer—World Hillshade or World Imagery—as the basemap in their web map:
    • OpenStreetMap (with relief)—World Hillshade
    • OpenStreetMap (Esri Street with Relief style)—World Hillshade
    • OpenStreetMap (Esri Hybrid Reference style)—World Imagery
  • If you have a tile layer (style) in your map, it can be moved to the basemap.

    My Map with Move to Basemap selected

  • The Hybrid Reference layer can be moved to the basemap and set as the reference layer over the World Imagery layer.

    My Map with Set as Reference Layer selected

  • The OpenStreetMap Dark Gray or Light Gray Canvas Reference layers can be moved to the basemap and set as the reference layer over the Canvas Base layer.
