Arc Desktop v.10 -- Mobile Cache

[AlexProtyagov]

Does anyone know how to make a mobile cache file in the Arc Desktop ? The idea is to make cache in the Arc Desktop and then save cache files to a device.
There are some posts online on how to do that in 9.xx version but can not yet find anything about newer version of the desktop.

Sure, this will work, but what if you have a common map cache that you want to share with multiple projects? It wouldn't make sense to create multiple copies in each project folder. The only way around it that has worked for us is to modify the .amp file to reference the local storage path.

A bit late perhaps, but if someone runs into this issue, here's how to solve the problem on Windows Mobile.

After copying the wmpk to your mobile device, try to open it by clicking on it. ArcGIS Mobile wil open and ask where you want to save it (let's say, on the storage card). Then it will complain that it cannot find the mapcache. It will however create a project folder in "\Storage Card\My Documents\ArcGIS Mobile", which in turn contains a MapCache folder. Copy the mapcache (bin, db, journal) there and try to open the project again.

No one here mentioned shared mapcaches, right? That would have to be solved by editing the wmpk (or the amp) manually.

these three files are generated when Berend Veldkamp says the cache only contains geometric layers, when the cache contains data such as Landsat raster additional files are created layer0, layer1, layern depending on the amount of raster layers containing the cache. these are handled if the normal cache open by code is not working
