Our team's use of Field Maps is growing, and we are wanting to have a look at tpks and sideloading so we can have an aerial and topo basemap for offline use.
Our current workflow for offline prep is creating managed areas via Field Maps Designer. This only allows for one offline basemap area though (I think? Correct me if I'm wrong). I tried adding in two basemaps in Map Viewer as well, but only one packaged.
From what I've read creating a tpk and sideloading it directly onto the device will allow for two basemap options. We don't want a vptk because we want to be able to edit and collect data.
Being new to tpks I'm running into issues in ArcPro using Geoprocessing "Create Tile Map Package". It keeps crashing. This could be due to the level of detail we want? I don't think the project boundary we chose is within reason size wise, but are there any best practice guidelines on size area/level of detail for a reasonable geoprocessing time in ArcPro/ download time in Field Maps? We are wanting to be able to view to small building.
Does anyone have any beginner level directions for how to create a tile map package and side load it into Field Maps? If we choose the option in Field Maps Designer to download the tile package layer from the organisation rather than load onto the device that's downloading the tile package layer every time we download a managed area so not saving on storage space. Is that correct?
These are two forms of documentation I've reviewed so far.
Thanks in advance for your help.
