###Vector Basemaps

Esri has introduced a new set of vector basemaps now in beta release. There are several benefits to vector basemaps including high-res displays, smaller and easier to update and the ability to customize the look and feel of the basemaps. You can see them live here.

In this lab you will swap your basemap with your favorite vector basemap.

###Steps

2. Click on this link to load a map. Or use your own map.

3. Click Add to add a vector tile > Search for Layers > In: ArcGIS Online.

   2. Click on World Street Map (Night) (DO NOT CLICK ADD!) > Add to Map.

   3. Click Done Adding Layers.

4. Save your map.

Your map should look something like this map
