v2.3.2 and Local Tile Packages. Something is different.

RussellShirley — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 16:21:12 GMT

Hi All,

I have been using the??? LocalTilePackage??? and ???GPS Sample??? sample codes merged together to do testing for a new app. Using version 2.2.1 the tile packages worked with the GPS perfect. When the Navigation and Compass Navigation modes were selected the GPS icons were centered on the screen. When I upgraded to version 2.3.2 they no longer are centered, they are to the left and bottom. This is true whether the app is on IOS 5.1 or 6.0, iPad or iPhone. I have even downloaded the latest sample code with the same results. So I must conclude that there is something different between the versions in relation to tile packages and GPS. FYI my WKID is 2239. My tile packages were created with Server 10.1 and Desktop 10.1

So has anyone come across this yet?

Thanks, Russell

In navigation auto pan mode, GPS icon should be in bottom-center by default. The navigationPointHeightFactor property of AGSGPS's (self.mapView.gps) controls location of symbol. You can set it at desired location.

Nimesh,

I knew of that property. In the sample code its is set to 0.5 which should put it in the center, which it has been. By changing that value I can get it to move up or down (Y) but 0.5 will not put it in the center. I cannot get it to move to the center left to right (X). I did try the app on an iPad 2 and 3, both have the same problem. I will look to see if the WKID has an effect the behavior.

Well, using a different WKID did not have any affect. I used the BING/Google scheme and the same thing happened. I attached a screen shot from the iPhone.

Are you seeing this issue with only local tiled packages?

I am still trying to find it. When I got a pristine copy of the GPS sample and change it to use tiles it worked like it should. I will do the same for the TilePackage sample. I will upadate when I know more

I found the problem. It was the location of the Mapview. Somehow the location values had negative numbers. 2.2.1 must have ignored them while 2.3.2 did not. Thanks for you help Nimesh.

Good to know that you got it working now. However, could you please provide more info? Location values coming from GPS had wrong values? or you were doing something on top of that?

Nimesh,
The GPS info was correct. I had inadvertently set the position on the map within the XIB to values with negative numbers. So what I did was to move the map off-center of the view. The GPS went to the center of the map which was off center. Version 2.2.1 must have ignored my mistake and 2.3.2 did not. It was all dumb mistakes by a Xcode newbie. Thanks for all your responses and help.
