What Can I Contribute? Esri is looking for detailed data to enhance its imagery, street map, and topographic map offerings. The focus of the Community Maps Program is on expanding coverage and adding more details, such as parcels, digital elevation models, and building footprints, to existing basemaps.

What Tools Are Available?To help you prepare your data for online publishing and to ensure uniform, high-quality cartography, we offer several map templates. These templates include map documents, sample data, and symbol style files that you can download and use to create your map.
