Image catalog support for ArcPad

EmilTucker

We would like to take high-resolution orthophotogaphy in the field and use it as a background layer in Arcpad, however the image size necessitates clipping it into pieces so that the handheld can manage to display it.  Using an image catalog where only the images relevant to the view extent are drawn could be a way to conserve RAM and not have to switch or resample images.   

This idea, Image catalog support for ArcPad, has been logged as CQ00126072. The idea is under consideration by the ArcPad team and can be tracked through ESRI Customer Care Portal located at the following url: https://customers.esri.com/index.cfm?event=login.show.

Thank you

Thanks for the idea!

Customers today are regularly deploying high-resolution imagery within fieldmaps, Survey 123, and other ArcGIS mobile applications. There are two main workflows for achieving this. 

1. Generating a tpkx package from pro that can be side-loaded to the device

2. Publish your imagery as a raster tile service that supports export and download to the device.
