Best practices for reducing mobile map package file size?

BrittanyBurson2 — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 02:57:30 GMT

I am finding that including large feature datasets (address point, parcels) in a mobile map package dramatically increases the mobile map package file size. For example, without these my package might be 5 mb but including them it balloons to 800+ mb. The performance is still good but for our purposes I am interested in reducing the final package file size as much as possible. What are the top things to keep in mind if the end goal is a reduced package file size? What things cause the size to increase the most? Appreciate any tips.

Deleting (rather than hiding) unnecessary fields from large feature datasets has made a huge difference, but any other advice beyond that? Thank you

Brittany,

Did you ever find a good solution for reducing your mobile map package sizes? Can you give more information as to what you're trying to make into a mobile map package (what all is included in the package)?
