Adding Aerial Photography in .sid format to Mobile Project Center

DarrylSanchez

How can I add aerial photography files in .sid format in Mobile Project Center as a basemap without having to go throught ArcGIS Online?

Hello Darryl,

In order to use the .sid files you will need to create a tile package of the imager. Descriptions on how this is achieved is found on the "Creating a tile package or dataset" page of the ArcGIS mobile help (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/windows-mobile/app/index.html#/Creating_a_tile_package_or_tiled_dataset/007v00000038000000/)

Cheers
Gordon

After the tile package is created how then do you bring it up in Mobile Project Center?

TimDonoyou

Hi there,

In Mobile Project Centre create and save your mobile project then...

Click Tools / Extract Tile Package

Browse to your tile package / Open

Then the Destination should be your Mobile Project folder which was created when you saved the project in step 1 above - that way it keeps it all together and when you copy it to the device / upload it to server it will be complete.

Hope the helps

Tim

Ok now the I get some message that the feature class layers do not match. I everything in Stateplane NAD83 feet. I notice the Sessions is in another projection. What am I doing wrong?

TimDonoyou

hello again,

we have never resolved projection and transformation issues in ArcGIS for Windows Mobile 10 and the only way to reliably collect accurate data is to set up the mxd and all the layers in WGS84 to match the GPS input.

A bug has been registered with ESRI Inc - NIM089287 - although this doesn't really describe it accurately

Then after the data has been collected and synced you can transform or project to combine with other layers or for mapping/cartography...

Hopefully this will be resolved in the next release.

Thanks

Tim

Thank you Tim. You are right, but which WGS84 projection or geographic coordinate system do I use?
I don't think it would be a GCS more like a projection coordinate system.
Because here are my choices:

Under a Geographic Coordinate System
     then under spheroid based
my choices are WGS-84 Major Auxiliary Sphere
      then under World
my choice is WGS-84

Under a Projection Coordinate System
      then under World
my choice is WGS 1984 auxiliary sphere and WGS 1984 world mercator

Sorry for the confusion. I wonder what the coordinate system is in the Trimble GPS unit?

In kind spirit,
DCUBED

Also, The ESRI International user conference is now in play. Wish I was there. My paper was selected to be presented at this
conference under the topic 3D GIS.

Hi Darryl,

We have found that GCS/World/GCS_WGS_1984.prj to be the most reliably accurate but it does mean transforming all our layers and base maps from British National Grid to this for every project deployment which can take some time.

Hope this helps - let us know if you find an alternative way of transforming projected co-ordinate systems to work with ArcGIS Mobile 10.x and / or hopefully this issue is resolved in ArcGIS 10.2 - it was fine in ArcGIS Mobile 3.x...!

Thanks

I think the problem you're encountering is due to using the default tiling scheme (ArcGIS Online/Bing Maps/Google Maps) which will produce a tile cache in WGS84. To have it in a different projection you will have to create your own Tiling Scheme with the "Generate Map Server Tiling Scheme (Server)" tool and use that in that in the creation of your Tile Package.

Hi Connor

Just out of interest - have you managed to deploy ArcGIS for Windows Mobile 10.x projects in a co-ordinate system other than WGS84...? We have found that the software is not able to transform the GPS WGS84 input co-ordinates into British National Grid and therefore set up all our data and mobile projects in WGS84. We are using Trimble Juno 5 devices.

Thanks

Tim
