However, I'd not tried it with in-build ArcGIS Mobile Application but I'd successfully done it with ArcGIS Mobile SDK. To do this you have to create tiles cache either through&nbsp; "Create Map Server Cache" under Server Tools or through Caching tab in Map Service Publishing Dialogue box.&nbsp; Once the tiles cache create then you have to manually copy it to device and use ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.DataProducts.RasterData.TileCacheMapLayer to add tile map cache to the map as base map. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Indra Bisen</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 23 Sep 2012 17:34:53 GMT IndraBisen 2012-09-23T17:34:53Z create basemap https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-for-windows-mobile-questions/create-basemap/m-p/106966#M501 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial/forum post about how to add a basemap to mobile cache?&nbsp; I thought that I understood it that I need to:1 add a basemap to an mxd, 2 zoom in to an extent, 3 then export that extent to a tiled mapservice that I can then 4 add to my mobile map mxd, then 5 export the mobile service from the mobile map mxd.&nbsp; This doesn't work, however, because I get an error message on step 3 that I cannot export a basemap as a tiled mapservice.&nbsp; I have also opened the "Mobile Project Manager", have added a free basemap from arcgis online...then I get stuck, as I can save the project but have no idea how to get the mapcache.&nbsp; I need the .db, .db-journal, and .bin files for my Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system devices (no lectures about upgrading, please...this is the ONLY OS that allows disconnected mode editing).&nbsp; I also looked into how to extract (clip) a portion of the basemap as an image, but can't figure out if that is doable.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I simply want a US streetmap that I can zoom in on and make a certain extent a part of my (uneditable) mobile mapcache.&nbsp; I will have custom layers on top of the basemap that are editable/selectable.&nbsp; Any ideas?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 19 Sep 2012 23:11:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-for-windows-mobile-questions/create-basemap/m-p/106966#M501 LisaT 2012-09-19T23:11:05Z Re: create basemap https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-for-windows-mobile-questions/create-basemap/m-p/106967#M502 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If I understand properly that basically you want to use some you own/free base maps in mobile device in disconnected mode.
