Minimal offline map with gray background

[FatmaAkdemir]

I need a gray background map (without tiles or tile package) on a PC without no internet. Is there a way to download such a map for offline usage? What would be the correct way, do I have to download vector tiles?

I may need a bit more information to understand what you are looking for.   For maps you can set a background color, it does not require any data.

Hi @MarkBockenhauer , I was asking if there is a way to download BasemapStyle::ArcGISDarkGrayBase map for offline usage, or any other basemap.

Yes,  there are Esri basemap for that purpose.  This one for example.   https://runtimecoretest.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=3175cf5b9e9f47f284c7b7d3c8d5b387

Here is a sample that shows how to generate an offline map.   https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/cpp/sample-code/generate-offline-map/     This sample which shows the use of overrides shows how to get the desired level of detail.  https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/cpp/sample-code/generate-offline-map-overrides/  

If you don't actually need map features... just a super lightweight gray background of world extent, I created these in ArcGIS Pro that you can use.    They are just 'gray boxes' at world extent (Web Mercator WGS84 auxillary sphere) in .tpkx and .vtpk format.

Thank you very much @MarkBockenhauer . I downloaded the tile packages you created, and I'll use them.
