You could try a KML image overlay ?  Might give you the experience you want. Mark ... View more

Yes.  Using ArcGIS Pro 2.6 the ‘create mobile map package tool’ has an option to reference online content.  All “https:” datasources will be incuded in the mobile map package as is.   Users of your app will need an internet connection to view them. All ‘non-https:’ (file based data) will be included in the package.   This allows you to create mobile map package that has a mix of offline and online content. ... View more

Cameron McArtney‌ We need to get into specifics, IOS, Android, Windows... and the specific expression...   but also to really get on top of this we should look at what happens with your map in Field Maps, which is currently in beta.   All Explorer and Collector workflows are going into this app.   This is where we will work to address any issues that you have with Explorer or Collector.

Brittany, You can certainly use Collector to do this.  Publish your poles (to check) as an editable feature service and author a webmap to use in Collector.  Add some attributes for your worker to input the information that you are wanting to know.    If you have a number of workers to coordinate, the use of Workforce can definitely help.

Is there a way to access the images saved in attachments in a mobile map package using Arcade that would then display in the popup as your example does? Richard, When I set out to write this article, that is exactly what I wanted to accomplish.  While you can get the the number of attachments, name, type...  I was not able to figure out a way to get the actual attachment using Arcade.  I will find out if I missed something, if possible maybe Arcade could be enhanced.

James, If you use OpenStreetMap you may be able to get a vector tile package that will meet your needs. Using ArcGIS Pro you can use Download Map, to get a Vetctor Tile Package layer of the OSM basemap for your area.  The caveat is whether your area is withing the Tile Limit of the service.   This article explains the process. /blogs/bock/2019/07/03/using-arcgis-pro-to-put-esri-vector-tile-basemaps-in-your-mobile-map  Once you have the layer, you can use the Create Mobile Map Package tool to clip the vector tile package similar to your picture.   In this example I buffered boat ramps by 1 mile, and used the buffer polys to clip the vector tile package. The map on the left is the source, with my buffer polys and the downloaded VTPK.  The right is the output MMPK inserted back into Pro.  For my area the source VTPK is 215 mb and the output is 90 mb, so its worth clipping if file size is a concern.   (note: With OSM VTPK you can unzip the MMPK, and get the VTPK file from inside and use it directly as a basemap in Survey123, Collector or app of choice as side loaded basemap.  The OSM style is inside the VTPK file). This is the extent for context of the file sizes. With regard to TPK or TPKX  imagery raster it does not clip to polys, so not as easily done. Mark ... View more

Matthew, I cannot speak to the time that it takes to run the GP Tool, but I am interested in this part of your question " Furthermore, when I was finally finished creating the database, I opened a map and attempted to start adding in some of the layers to arcGIS Pro, it took what felt like an eternity for the feature datasets in the file geodatabase to open. I timed it and on average, it took ~20 seconds for the feature datasets to open and display the data." How many feature classes or feature datasets are in the filegeodatabase? ... View more

Matthew, Are you seeing the file access slowness with ArcGIS Pro 2.6? Thanks, Mark ... View more

Arne, As you have noticed the create mobile map packaging process does not limit the data packages based on a layer definition query (or field visibility.. like some of the other 'export data' tools), all records are included in the package. Perhaps this is something that could be considered for a future release.  Could you enter an Idea for it? Thanks, Mark ... View more

Ally, There is no popup support for  TPK, TPKX or VTPK files.  What would you like to be able to see in a popup from tiles? thanks, Mark    ... View more

John, You had mention that you were using ArcMap.  The "Create Address Locator Tool" in ArcGIS Pro creates locators that are similar in nature to ArcMap with the same capabilities. The "Ceate Locator" tool that you mention does create new locators, and they can be used with runtime 100.8 on 32 bit hardware.  Not a solution for your runtime 100.5/6 applications. Mark ...

John, Using ArcGIS Pro to create Mobile Map Package (MMPK) that include locators (.loc) output from Create Address Locator tool has been supported since Runtime 100.2 You mention that you are targeting Runtime 100.5/6,  ArcGIS Pro is capable of creating a new version  of locator (.loz) from the "Create Locator" tool, these are not supported in 100.5/6.   The version of the Mobile Map Package will be incremented to a version that is not supported by the apps built on the 100.5/6 runtime if the new locators are inside. ,,, also feature search can also be a good alternative to locators if it works for your use case.

Evan, I agree with you on the difficulty of getting the vector style you want..., that's why I provided a workaround, and I know it's not ideal.  Specific to your inquiry the last / is important  https://cdn.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/df541726b3df4c0caf99255bb1be4c86/resources/ I have been using feedback like yours to raise awareness with my colleagues, for a better vector tile style download experience. Thanks, Mark ... View more

That version can only download  'raster' tile packages (ex TPK, TPKX).    I was using ArcGIS Pro 2.5 (and 2.6)..   which is capable of downloading Vector Tile Packages. Might be a great time for you to move to Pro 2.6 in a couple weeks.   You will see very noticeable differences in performance and quality. ... View more
