Note:
ArcGIS Data Appliance provides information about the ArcGIS Data Appliance product options, and ArcGIS Data Appliance 2024 content includes a table to help you understand the difference between the services in each product option.
Esri Vector Basemaps
Esri Vector Basemaps, an additional set of basemaps in vector tile format, is available in Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere projection and WGS84/GCS tiling scheme; it ships separately on a USB flash drive with most product options. There are four new vector tile layers (map styles) as well as updates to the existing 51 style items. The vector tile packages contain updated global data from a variety of sources including commercial, authoritative agencies and open-source providers, as well as local authoritative data from the Esri Community Maps Program. An additional six languages are supported within each Esri Vector Basemaps vector tile package. Vector basemaps can also be customized.
Note:
This feature is not included with the World Basic product option.
OpenStreetMap Vector Basemaps
OpenStreetMap (OSM) Vector Basemaps, an additional set of basemaps in vector tile format, is available in Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere projection and WGS84/GCS tiling scheme; it ships separately on a USB flash drive with most product options. There are two new and 10 updated OSM vector map styles. The contents of these maps are built from the OpenStreetMap Daylight Distribution data. Vector basemaps can also be customized.
Note:
OSM Vector Basemaps: Basic (WMA only), a set of basemaps in vector tile format, is included on the ArcGIS Data Appliance 2024 World Basic USB flash drive (ships separately) as part of the World Basic product option.
World Gazetteer
The World Gazetteer is a places locator that allows you to geocode various types of places around the world. The World Gazetteer locator is composed solely of open-source content, primarily from GeoNames. The GeoNames database itself contains more than 27 million geographical names and consists of more than 12 million unique features with roughly 4.8 million populated places and 15 million alternate names. The gazetteer references a dataset including countries, states and provinces, administrative areas (for example, counties), cities, landmarks, water bodies, and more. It ships separately on a USB flash drive with most product options.
Note:
World Gazetteer is not included with the World Basic product option.
World Places Locator is no longer included with ArcGIS Data Appliance.
World Imagery
The World Imagery basemap was updated with more recent, higher-accuracy, and more detailed imagery.
World Imagery receives updated high-resolution, commercially licensed content globally and contributions from the GIS community in select areas. The commercial content is sourced from Maxar's constellation of high-resolution imaging satellites, while the community contributions are generally high-resolution aerial photography. Additional information is available in the World Imagery service description and in the associated metadata layer provided with your source documents.

World Elevation
The Terrain 3D layer was updated with lidar-derived 40-centimeter elevation data for Denmark; 50-centimeter elevation data for Netherlands; 1-meter elevation data for parts of Canada, Poland, New Zealand, and the United States; 2-meter elevation data for Finland and parts of Canada; 10-meter elevation data for Finland, Netherlands, Denmark, Northern Ireland, and the United States; and 30-meter elevation data for the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Mexico.
The Terrain layer was updated with lidar-derived 40-centimeter elevation data for Denmark; 50-centimeter elevation data for Netherlands and Hong Kong; 1-meter elevation data for Slovenia, Berlin (Germany), Hamburg (Germany), and parts of Poland, New Zealand, and the United States; 2-meter elevation data for Finland and Saxony-Anhalt (Germany); 5-meter elevation data for New South Wales (Australia) and parts of Poland; and 10-meter elevation data for Finland, Netherlands, Denmark, and Northern Ireland.
Elevation Analysis
The new Summarize Elevation geoprocessing tool calculates summary statistics for features you provide based on the elevation in Terrain data. It accepts point, line, or polygon input and returns statistics for the elevation, slope, and aspect of the features.
The Profile and Viewshed geoprocessing tools were updated with 10-meter elevation data for Finland, Netherlands, Denmark, and Northern Ireland.
