Use Open Vector Basemaps

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

You can use Open Vector Basemaps in applications in the following ways:

• Add the 13 map tile layers (styles) to a map in ArcGIS Pro or to Map Viewer in your Enterprise portal.
• Add the tile layers (styles) to an existing basemap, or add them as the basemap.
• Use 3 of the 13 map tile layers (styles) with a raster layer—World Hillshade or World Imagery—as the basemap in their web map:
  • OpenStreetMap Style with Relief—World Hillshade
  • Open Basemap Streets with Relief—World Hillshade
  • Open Basemap Hybrid Reference—World Imagery
• If you have a tile layer (style) in the map, move it to the basemap.
• Move the Open Basemap Hybrid Reference layer to the basemap and set as the reference layer over the World Imagery layer
• Move the Open Basemap Dark Gray or Light Gray Canvas Reference layers to the basemap and set them as the reference layer over the Canvas Base layer.
