Downloading OpenStreetMap and Imagery to ArcGIS Collector for Offline Use?

Question

I am traveling to Costa Rica and would like to use Collector with my cell phone to record some information in a feature class.  I would like to find some 1m or better imagery to put in a web map that could be synced for offline use.

Does anyone have suggestions for Costa Rica imagery that is publicly available?

Also, is it possible to publish OpenStreetMap as a vector tile package for the same offline use?

As commented by @RussRoberts:

The current release of Collector does not support vector tile
  packages. If you have vector data you can create just a tile package
  and side load that into Collector or Publish it as a tile layer and
  have it support Export Tiles(same for imagery). Here are the esri
  provided basemaps

and in a second comment by the same user:

When you download in collector you can specify an extent before
  downloading but there is a tile export limit. You might want to chunk
  it up into different zones and have collector download a general
  "master zone" and the basemap switcher will show all offline basemaps
  that are within your downloaded extent so you can hit different lower
  levels.
