Is it possible to publish my working network analysis route dataset and route layers to ArcGIS online for public use without Enterprise?

ScottFraser_Key-West — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 03:42:14 GMT

I've created a functional route map in Pro, using a newly created dataset for roadways within our industrial park , many of which don't appear in Esri's datasets.

Seeking for a way to make this service useable to visitors by publishing it online, but don't have Enterprise. Is there a way to publish my dataset and route layers online for the public to use?

Thanks

You can publish your dataset from ArcGIS Pro as long as you're signed into ArcGIS Online (AGOL). It doesn’t have to be just a shapefile—any feature class in your project can be shared as a hosted feature layer.

From Pro, you can publish your data and then build a web map that can be shared publicly:
https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/publish-features.htm

That will allow others to view and interact with your data online.

However, if your goal is to use this as a custom routing solution (i.e., using your own road network for directions/route solving), that’s where limitations come in. ArcGIS Online alone won’t host custom network analysis services. For that capability, you typically need ArcGIS Enterprise with Network Analyst Server to publish a custom routing service:

Yeah, that's the only answer I was finding. Indeed, I was hoping to use my road network and dataset as a publicly available custom routing solution, absent Enterprise.

Was hoping for other options.

We developed a network for walking using sidewalks and trails (not roads) and would love to have this for residents to map a walking routes to/from several destinations. From what I'm reading, this is not possible, correct? It's only available for portal?

From what I've learned the past few weeks, it's only possible through Esri if you have an Enterprise server. As an alternative, I've been using https://openstreetmap.org to do much the same without the need for a server.

I've got a working copy online by publishing it through github. It's still got some bugs in it, but here's what it looks like so far: Appogee on Quincy — Park Navigator
