I would be interested to hear the answer to this. Do we have any ability to query SDC data at 9.3.1 / 10?
e.g. we have vector base mapping that includes buildings which we may need to measure distance to from our operational data. If we move this base mapping to SDC is this possible?
It is not possible to read the SDC basemap layers in the manner you describe. The SDC basemap layers are present in ArcGIS Mobile for reference only. You need to publish the buildings layer an operational layer in order to perform Query / Search functions in ArcGIS Mobile.
