Viewing Mr SID (.sid) files in ArcPad 10?

TravisSmith — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 22:53:18 GMT

Does anyone know why I am unable to import/add a Mr SID (.sid, .sdw, etc...) image to my ArcPad 10 Map (.apm). ArcPad doesn't recognize the file at all. I just tested a GeoJPG from the same location on the mobile device, and ArcPad recognizes/imports it just fine.

Hi Travis,

Couple of questions. Can you add the .sid file into a blank ArcPad map? Is MrSID extension turned on in ArcPad > Options > Advanced Settings > Extensions? Does the .sid file display Projection information in Map Properties > Projection? Does the .sid file have same projection as ArcPad map document (.apm)? Does behavior occur with multiple .sid files?
