  • Choose from hundreds of basemaps in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.
  • Customize which data is visible and how it will appear at different zoom levels.
  • Upload and customize basemaps, and stylize Esri's copies of Open Street Map basemap data.
  • Change the size and colors of sprites, and upload your own images.
  • Publish your stylized basemap on ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise and add your basemap to your mapping app.
