Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial/forum post about how to add a basemap to mobile cache? 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. This doesn't work, however, because I get an error message on step 3 that I cannot export a basemap as a tiled mapservice. 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. 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). 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.
I simply want a US streetmap that I can zoom in on and make a certain extent a part of my (uneditable) mobile mapcache. I will have custom layers on top of the basemap that are editable/selectable. Any ideas?
