Community Maps World Topographic Basemap with Customized Symbolization

A vector tile layer provides a customized world basemap optimized to display special areas of interest (AOIs). These AOIs, created by Community Maps contributors, include landscaping features and sports amenities. The layer is built using the same data sources as the Esri World Topographic Map and is published by the City of Moreton Bay's Data Hub, last updated on 2026-05-27.

• Integrate a customized basemap into web or desktop GIS applications based on vector tile technology.

Strengths

• Integrates community-contributed data, likely enhancing local detail.
• Built on authoritative Esri World Topographic Map data sources.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, KML, and ArcGIS REST API.

Limitations
