Trying to determine if the maps sdk is right for me, but there's a ton of information out there and I'm a little overwhelmed. Details below:
- Will be a WPF app and will be completely offline.
- All data is provided through various files (shapefiles, .mdb, .kmls, etc.).
- Ability for user to draw custom shapes on the map
- Ability for user to perform calculations like finding distance between features, finding features within a bounding box, etc.
- No editing of the data besides any in-memory features that the user might draw on the map
Can I do the above using the maps sdk? What is required to deploy this? I saw this post https://community.esri.com/t5/net-maps-sdk-questions/standalone-and-completely-offline-wpf-app/m-p/1155994#M10845 talking about the licenses, but I don't see a cost on the license page. Is the license perpetual? As in, once it is deployed, can it be used forever?
The tutorials talk about getting an API key. Do I still need that even though it will be an offline app?
