Ok - here's what I have, A Windows 8 Tablet & Windows XP, both running ArcGIS for Windows Mobile 10.1.1.0 (the latest I believe)


I have a tiled base map, deployed via the share toll in the 10.1 desktop to a TBK file and expanded on the machines


In windows XP all is fine.


In Windows 8 it fails big time.  My data is in British national Grid (wkid 27700) and this pick up fine on the project details.

When it is in the Windows 8 tablet it looks initially like it get reprojected into WGS84 (I recogize my district when it is in WGS84)

However the tiles then don't join.  It is as if it reprojects each tile, but when it comes to the next one it places it in a position defined by the original projection. See examples attached.  As i said, these work fine in the same software on windows XP (and on earlier software on 7 - I've not dared upgrade that tablet as it is in the field)

Even reprojecting the map as WGS84 at the time of tile creation fails.  I draw the line at re-projecting the raw data as there is a massive overhead to that.

I have a call with our local esri, but they've had to bounce it to Redlands, but so far we've had no luck, so throwing it open to the community!

Hi,

Found some useful information and fix for the NIM093153 here : http://www.askcodeguru.com/11000433/mobile-tiles-windows-8-projection-issues.html

Fix for these is to ensure the screen DPI is set to 100% in the Win display setting.

Cheers
