Bring the power of location to your applications and workflows with basemaps, which are ready-to-use maps that serve as the geographic foundation for your apps. Access a global collection of basemaps with localised languages and geographies, which can be customised to meet your unique needs.

The benefits of basemaps

  • Understand geographic context

    Basemaps serve as a foundational layer in your applications. Choose from dozens of preset basemaps designed by Esri’s team of professional cartographers.

  • Realistic depictions of the earth at multiple scales

    Basemaps use authoritative data as reference sources to produce maps for global and local geographies. Available in more than 40 languages, basemaps provide a global digital mapping solution trusted by commercial, governmental, and scientific agencies around the world.

  • Customisable by design

    Choose from a variety of prepared maps that can be personalised to fit your needs. Basemaps enable dynamic cartography with the flexibility to create your own styles. You can customise your map with the colours, patterns, and labels that meet your organisation's unique needs.
