Fetching base map information

RainerFarsch

I have a bathymetry map that is a map of ocean depths - the deeper the blue the deeper the ocean. The map is provided as a .mxd file. I can open this file in ArcGIS Desktop and I'm able to click on it using the Identify cursor to query for depth at the clicked location.

Next I rendered this map into a '.tpk' file that I open using ArcGISLocalTiledLayer in ArcGIS Runtime. So my question is: can I get depth information in ArcGIS Runtime from the base map like was I able to get in ArcGIS Desktop?

One idea I've heard is to create a feature table in ArcGIS Desktop containing depth information and using that for depth information in ArcGIS Runtime; but I was curious if there is a way to get it directly from the base map - either in this release (10.2.6) or in a future release (Quartz).

Thanks!

To elaborate a bit, the TPK is basically a compressed file of a bunch of images in a specific folder structure, so the attributes associated with the data for identify in ArcMap are no longer with the TPK once it is created. If you created a new, blank MXD and brought the TPK into ArcMap, I don't believe the identify operation will tell you the same information as what you saw with the original MXD.

Offline only.

And we are considering adding something for searching for features in a basemap layer at Quartz, however it would likely be using something other than a TPK with an ArcGISLocalTiledLayer. Hope that helps!

The reason I ask is because with ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer (online), you can set up the service so that you can run a query against it. However, you won't be able to do this with the ArcGISLocalTiledLayer and a TPK.

Hey Rainer-

Are you working only offline (with a TPK and ArcGISLocalTiledLayer) or also online (with an ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer)?
