ArcGIS Basemap Styles service

The ArcGIS Basemap Styles serviceThe ArcGIS Basemap Styles service, also referred to as the Basemap Styles service, is a location service that provides basemap styles and data for the world. It returns styles as Mapbox styles and web maps, and data as vector tiles and/or map tiles. It supports all of the styles in the ArcGIS Basemap style and Open Basemap style family. An ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account is required to use the service.Learn more is a location serviceArcGIS Location Services, also referred to as Location Services, are services hosted by Esri that provide geospatial functionality for developing mapping applications. They include the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service, ArcGIS Static Basemap Tiles service, ArcGIS Places service, ArcGIS Geocoding service, ArcGIS Routing service, ArcGIS GeoEnrichment service, and ArcGIS Elevation service. An ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account is required to use the services.Learn more that provides basemap styles and data for the world. They can offer features and labels for land, water, roads, buildings, cities, places, and administrative boundaries, as well as satellite imagery. There are many styles to choose from, which can be modified by adjusting style preferences such as language and worldview. Each basemap style delivers high-quality geographic data and visualization for maps.

It returns styles as Mapbox styles and web maps, and data as vector tiles and/or map tiles. It supports all of the styles in the ArcGIS Basemap style and Open Basemap style family. An ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account is required to use the service.Learn more is typically used by modern APIs that support WebGL and dynamic rendering at all zoom levels. The service can return styles in JSON format based on either the Mapbox Style Specification (v8) or the ArcGIS Web Map Specification, as specified by styles/v2/styles and styles/v2/webmaps, respectively. The Mapbox Style Specification is typically accessed by open source libraries such as MapLibre GL JS, whereas the ArcGIS Web Map Specification is usually accessed by clients built with ArcGIS Maps SDKs. The data provided by the service supports the Web Mercator spatial referenceA spatial reference is a set of parameters, typically defined by a WKID, that define the coordinate system and spatial properties for geographic data. Applications use a spatial reference to correctly display the position of geographic data in a map or scene.Learn more.

The service supports two families of styles: the ArcGIS Basemap stylesArcGIS Basemap styles are the family of basemap styles that use authoritative data from Esri and partners such as TomTom, Garmin, FAO, NOAA, USGS, OpenStreetMap contributors, and the GIS User Community.Learn more and the Open Basemap stylesOpen Basemap styles are the family of basemap styles that use open source data from Overture Maps, which includes data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), Microsoft, Esri Community Maps, and other open data sources.Learn more. Examples of the styles include arcgis/streets, arcgis/navigation, arcgis/outdoor, arcgis/imagery (satellite), open/osm-style, and open/streets.

The pricing for basemap usageBasemap usage is the type of consumption that occurs when accessing basemaps from a basemap service. It is measured by the number of tiles consumed or sessions created.Learn more is based on the number of basemap tiles consumed or basemap sessionsA basemap session is a timeframe during which a single user of a single application can use a session token to access unlimited basemap tiles from the Basemap Styles service. It is created a session starts and valid for a maximum duration of 12 hours.Learn more created.
