Willliam, Our plan is to have the final release out before the Esri User Conference in July but as Mark states the iOS version of the app is pretty much feature complete we are just dialing in the quality now in beta. Android will follow shortly as we are just getting the last few feature into that beta as you read this. Thanks for the great feedback and your help testing the beta, -Brent ... View more

Nathan, Good questions. The Tracker for ArcGIS app stores all the track information locally first so it works completely offline. Opportunistically the track information is then uploaded to back end feature services when those services are accessible (e.g. you have connectivity). Explorer will just access the local tracks stored on the device and in that way will not be dependent on a connection to the internet of the feature service which powers the overall Tracer for ArcGIS solution. Hope this helps. -Brent ... View more

Nathan, Explorer on iOS and Android will support integration with the newly released Tracker for ArcGIS app. (Track mobile users—Tracker for ArcGIS | ArcGIS ) Our solution is for the Tracker app to be installed on the device alongside the Explorer app. If Tracker is on the device, Explorer will be able to easily overlay the tracks that are collected. In this way, you will be able to see your tracks online or offline as you view your MMPK. Here is a link to the product page for Tracker: https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/tracker-for-arcgis/overview Hope this helps, -Brent Aaron Pulver‌ ... View more

Good news Ian, we are working on this right now. Would you be willing to test it for us in order to make sure we are hitting the mark? ... View more

Ian, We are beta on both iOS and Android for the 19.1 release please check out the information here if you want to join the beta: Navigator for ArcGIS Beta . This release represents a major evolution of the app and some of the highlights are listed here: https://community.esri.com/groups/navigator-for-arcgis-beta/blog/2018/10/03/whats-new-and-whats-coming-ios-beta-1  Hope this helps, -Brent ...

Jay, Is there any way you could share the MMPK you are having troubles with? Thanks, -Brent ... View more

Cesar, You can create the network with restrictions setting the speed limit but Navigator will not "enforce" that drivers maintain that speed. This will just affect how the routes get generated in the app as well as the projected arrival time which assumes drivers obey the posted speed limits. With respect to creating routes, the beta version of Navigator (https://community.esri.com/groups/navigator-for-arcgis-beta?et=invite.join.sgroup.unmodifiable ) has support for Pre-planned routes. I recommend reading this post as it explains the new functionality is detail https://community.esri.com/groups/navigator-for-arcgis-beta/blog/2018/09/28/routes-in-navigator  Hope this helps, -Brent ...

One thing that I think is worth noting here is the next release of Navigator (18.1) (due for release in November) Navigator will support consuming routes directly from ArcGIS Online and Portal/Enterprise. The general workflow would be this: 1. Create a route with one of the many tools on the platform which let you do so. 2. Save route in Online or Enterprise as a "Route Layer" Item. 3. Share the route with a driver. When that driver logs into Navigator their routes will show up. With respect to the original question on creating maps for Navigator the workflow is this: 1. Use ArcGIS Pro to create a Mobile Map Package with a network in it (ArcMap can not create MMPKs) 2. Share that MMPK in Online or Enterprise /Portal 3. SHare it with the drivers in your fleet who will need to use Navigator Hope this helps, -Brent ... View more

I think Xander nailed it, Navigator is not localizing the decimal separator properly for the locale your device is in. You will need to use the "." character as the decimal separator when using the DD notation in the search. in short, 3.456, 37.079 should work. Hope this helps, -Brent ... View more

Hi Diego, What version of Navigator are you using? Also is there any way you could share the MMPK with us? Feel free to email it as an attachment to navigator4arcgis@esri.com. If it is too big for that we can coordinate on another way for you to get the data to us so we can help you. Thanks, -Brent  ... View more

Omar, These are great enhancements to Navigator some of which will certainly be considered for the upcoming release of Navigator which is currently underway. I also encourage you to also use the Esri Ideas site to crowd source these great enhancements so we can get a better idea of the more popular requests and prioritize those. Here is a link to the navigator page: ArcGIS Ideas  Thanks again, -Brent ... View more

Yes it is you can determine which app handles requests for directions. ... View more

Juan, I am not sure what the need for Google Maps is in the workflow at all. Collector will pass a location to Navigator and the Navigator app will generate a route and start navigation to that destination complete with turn by turn orations at each maneuver. Is the request to: A: Have the Google Maps App orate the directions as Navigator guides the end user through the route which was generated in Navigator? If so, this is not supported by either app and I would like to understand further the root cause of the request, maybe there are enhancement we could make to Navigator to alleviate/satisfy this request. -or- B: Have Collector pass a location directly to the Google Maps app so Google Maps can generate the route, guide the end user through it and orate each specific maneuver? - or- C: Something I am completely missing ... wouldn't be the first time 🙂 Thanks, -Brent ...

Justin, Thanks for your feedback, My places are personal artifacts that we are assuming you do not want to remain persisted on the device after you sign out. Could you go into some more details as to your workflow here and why you would need them persisted between multiple logouts? In general, when you sign out Explorer will delete any information created/persisted by that user. This includes recent search history, recent maps as well as places. Happy to discuss ways of making places more useful to you and your organization however, so it would be great if you can share your workflows with us. -Brent   ... View more
