Description

This vector tile layer provides a detailed basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri topographic map style.  This vector tile layer is similar in content and style to the World Topographic Map, which is delivered as raster fused map cache tile layer.  This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization and high-resolution display.

This layer includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, and administrative boundaries, designed for use with shaded relief for added context. The map is built using the same data sources used for the World Topographic Map raster basemap and other Esri basemaps.  

Use this Map

This map is designed to be used as a basemap layer or reference layer in a web map.  You can add this layer to a web map and save as your own map.  If you would like to use this map as a basemap layer in a web map, you may use the vector basemap Topographic web map.

Customize this Map

Because this map is delivered as a vector tile layer, users can customize the map to change its content and symbology, including fonts.  Users are able to turn on and off layers, change symbols for layers, switch to alternate local language (in some areas), and refine the treatment of disputed boundaries. See the Vector Basemap group for other vector tile layers. For details on how to customize this map, please refer to these articles on the ArcGIS Online Blog and view the Esri Vector Basemaps Reference Document.

This is the replacement for the other World Topographic Map (non-vector) Tile Layer that is in mature support. Will this replacement product ever include the contour lines like the other product has?

You can utilize this Web Map (or access the tile layer used in it). Topographic (with Contours and Hillshade). It is a multisource vector basemap that is designed for Map Viewer (not map viewer classic). It is available through the Living Atlas: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7378ae8b471940cb9f9d114b67cd09b8

Why is the World Topographic Map and other similar maps not updating to the latest version of the web like Google Maps?

Is there an available basemap like this that is able to be downloaded in its entirety as a tile layer and used on a closed network?

Hello, we are trying to understand the source of the elevations and contours on this map, and what vertical datum was used in it? As per our understanding the layer refers to the World Hillshade layer which seems connected to the Terrain (elevation) layer, however, we do not see any information regarding the VCS used. Is the VCS used WGS 1984 or EGM 08 as the projection system is WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) .

          This tile layer will automatically create tiles as needed and cache them for future use. No further configuration is required. View the Settings tab to change the default options. Build tiles manually for specific scales and extents to improve display performance for the first person to view the tile layer at that scale and extent. Tiles must exist if the layer will be used offline.
