Add Mapbox map styles as basemaps in ArcGIS Online

Summary

Basemaps from other sources such as Mapbox can be added to ArcGIS Online. MapBox contains multiple map style options that can be used to create customized basemaps as a reference to the map layer. Map styles from Mapbox can also be added as a Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) to ArcGIS Online.

Note:
Mapbox is an open source mapping platform for mobile and web applications. To browse the collection of maps in the application, create and sign in to the Mapbox account.
