ArcGIS
- ArcGIS DesktopUB Only: ArcGIS Desktop allows you to create maps, perform spatial analysis, and manage data. You can import multiple data formats and use powerful analytical tools and workflows to identify spatial patterns, trends, and non-obvious relationships.
- Esri Open Access National DatasetsEsri Federal Datasets serves the ArcGIS and broader geospatial communities by providing access to a collection of curated, ready-to-use layers that are cached and updated from federal sources. This collection, from the National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) Portfolio Datasets, provides national geospatial data that supports decision-making activities and can also be used as valuable resources in maps and apps.
- OpenStreetMap data in ArcGISOpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open, editable map of the world. For several years, Esri has provided access to OSM data as a basemap. This started with Esri referencing raster tiles hosted by OpenStreetMap and has evolved to Esri generating and hosting vector tiles, which are updated every 3 weeks with the latest OSM data at the time. These basemaps are ideal for high-performance visualization but have limited capabilities beyond that.
