OpenStreetMap (OSM) 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.
OSM Vector Basemaps provides a content solution that works with ArcGIS Enterprise. It is included (downloaded from My Esri or ships separately on a USB flash drive) with ArcGIS Data Appliance 2025 with World Standard, World Advanced, North America Standard, and North America Advanced product options. It can also be licensed as a stand-alone option.
Note:
The World Basic product option includes OSM Vector Basemaps: Basic (WMA only), which you download from My Esri or ships separately on the World Basic USB flash drive.
The OSM Vector Basemaps help includes the following topics:
- OSM Vector Basemaps content
- Directory of map styles
- System requirements
- Set up OSM Vector Basemaps
- Information on how to use OSM Vector Basemaps
- Methods to customize and localize OSM Vector Basemap styles
- Reference information including FAQ, Troubleshooting, and Support
Note:
ArcGIS Data Appliance: OpenStreetMap Vector Basemaps is in Mature Support in ArcGIS Data Appliance 2025. This is the last release for OSM Vector Basemaps. For ArcGIS Data Appliance 2026, OSM Vector Basemaps will be replaced with new Open Basemap Vector Basemaps, which will include open data from OpenStreetMap and other sources.
