Display transparent map with roads only

SapirYiflach — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 14:58:58 GMT

Hello,

I've been playing around with the JavaScript SDK and I'm trying to display a map with the 'streets' basemap but I want anything but the roads to be transparent. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Sapir

Sapir,

No the street map basemap is an image you can not pick and choose what you want to see.

You can make alterations to the style of the vector basemaps.

Update vector tile layer style—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS

The documentation links to story maps that describe how to do that

Thank you for the reply!

While this helps customize basemaps and other maps, I couldn't find a way to reference the customized map programmatically in the JavaScript API. Or did I miss something?

TIA,
