This blog post is about styling and labelling data from the OpenStreetMap<\/a> database in ArcGIS Pro, to produce impressive maps. The key is to understand the structure of OpenStreetMap data<\/a>, the different data types and their correspondent attribute schemes.<\/p>\n

For the purpose of this blog, I selected the country of Luxembourg in Europe, because it is a small country and I believe it is a good example. Of course, this process can be applied to any other place in the World, provided that OpenStreetMap data is available for that place.<\/p>\n

All OpenStreetMap data have been downloaded from the Overpass Turbo<\/a> with appropriate queries<\/a> in GeoJSON format and further converted to feature classes with the JSON To Features<\/a>\u00a0 Geoprocessing Tool.<\/p>\n

In the following paragraphs I attempt to style and label all data with Arcade<\/a>, whenever possible. I believe Arcade can really help ArcGIS users to save time and make better and more efficient workflows.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1325412,"id":1325412,"title":"CompletedMapExample","filename":"CompletedMapExample.jpg","filesize":281533,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/styling-openstreetmap-data-with-arcade-in-arcgis-pro\/completedmapexample","alt":"Styling OSM data in ArcGIS Pro.","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"","name":"completedmapexample","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1325372,"date":"2021-08-16 20:25:56","modified":"2021-08-16 20:26:15","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1250,"height":910,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg","medium-width":359,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":559,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg","large-width":1250,"large-height":910,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg","1536x1536-width":1250,"1536x1536-height":910,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg","2048x2048-width":1250,"2048x2048-height":910,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample-639x465.jpg","card_image-width":639,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg","wide_image-width":1250,"wide_image-height":910}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CompletedMapExample.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Map and Layout Preparation<\/h2>\n

In ArcGIS Pro I open a new map, which I rename to \u201cLuxembourg\u201d and I select the OpenStreetMap from the basemap gallery (on the Map tab, in the Layer group).<\/p>\n

I navigate to Luxembourg with the help of the Locate<\/a> pane and I open the Map Properties<\/strong> dialog box. At the Coordinate Systems<\/strong> tab I search for the \u201cLuxembourg 1930 Gauss\u201d (EPSG:2169<\/a>) projected coordinate system and I select it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I create a new Layout, with height 100cm and width 70cm, which I rename to Luxembourg and I add a new Map Frame<\/a> with the Luxembourg map. I zoom and center to the boundaries of Luxembourg and I set the map scale to 1:100,000.<\/p>\n

This is going to be the scale of the final map and since I will produce a single-scale map, it is a good idea to set it as the Reference Scale<\/a> for the map.<\/p>\n

I am all set-up to start adding layers on the map. The layers I am about to add can be categorized in three major groups and they include:<\/p>\n
