Do you have the correct communication protocol selected? I was looking at the Juniper site, there was no mention of which protocol their GPS devices use. NMEA? ... View more

What is "mobile"? If this is the exact phrasing of the question, it is not specific enough to respond with a correct answer. I have a tablet PC that runs Windows XP. Is that "mobile"? The tablet will run ArcGIS Desktop. I agree that "D" is not an answer to the question. ... View more

A one to many relationship (features to table) would work nicely for what you've described. But it is not possible to edit a table and there is no logic for editing related feature classes or tables. There are workarounds for editing tables but they do not sound workable. Still the lack of support for relationships remains. ArcPad handles relationships. But not for data hosted on ArcGIS Server...only locally stored data. ArcPad 10.2 supports editing ArcGIS Server feature services (tested this in Beta). Not sure if 10.2 handles relationships managed by ArcGIS Server. ArcPad 10.2 has not been released. Pretty sure all this stated about Collector also applies to ArcGIS for iOS. Corrections are welcome. ... View more

I think the height value you are trying to call in the block of code below is the height of the map_view object (which inherits from AGSMapView). Pretty sure that's the height of the map's view frame - could be inches or pixels. This is not the same as surface elevation. Probably not what you want. elevation.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", map_view.visibleAreaEnvelope.height]; I looked for a sample that illustrates the use of AGSImageServiceIdentifyTask. I did not find a sample. Pretty sure this class is the starting point for what you want to do. Check out the link below. https://developers.arcgis.com/en/ios/api-reference/interface_a_g_s_image_service_identify_result.html Also you will need to find an elevation layer that is appropriate to run the identify operation against. Perhaps something like the link below. Hopefully the identify operation does not return a JPEG compressed cell value. http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Terrain_Base/MapServer If someone knows of an easier way of getting elevation data I would like to hear your thoughts.

Did you verify that the REST endpoint is accessible? Example: http://www.someorganization.com/arcgis/rest/services If you have a way of testing this from outside your network, it is better because you will see what users outside your network will see. A USB cellular modem works well or an iphone or android phone's browser. Or ask a friend who is outside your network to check the REST endpoint. Paul Lohr ... View more

We use ArcGIS Online to host maps that we don't want to be publicly accessible. Map services are provided by our instance of ArcGIS Server. We have both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Server. ArcGIS Online allows you to setup groups to control access to your maps. If I understand correctly, you don't need a subscription for maps that are publicly available. Also, you probably lose the ability to use map groups to categorize your maps (that is, without a subscription). You can get away without purchasing an ArcGIS Online subscription. Use the ArcGIS mobile content section on your ArcGIS Server instance to host your maps. You have to go through a bit of a tedious process to get the JSON document built that becomes your actual map. You can get through the process though. Security is not taken care of as it is with an ArcGIS Online subscription. You'd pretty much have to setup your own security. It can be done, but an elegant solution will require a fair amount of time. You will likely find that ArcGIS Online has quite a few bugs. It's mostly usable. Paul Lohr ... View more

Meir, Did you check the console for error messages? ... View more

I've had this happen a few times, this usually corrects it: Remove the service in the arcgis.com map. Logout of the arcgis.com site. Log in to the arcgis.com site. Open the map where the service was removed. Add the service back into the map. Save the map. On the iOS device, open a different map, allow that map to fully open, then open the map that had the issue. I suspect that this forces the app to re-read the JSON from the arcgis.com site. Hopefully the issue is gone...? ... View more

Have you tried exporting to PDF with settings chosen to embed the fonts? Maybe the PDF could substitute for the AI file? I have not tried to install Windows fonts on a Mac. Not sure if it is possible. ... View more

I think persistence is the key to learning Objective C and iOS development. I have been through numerous books and tutorials. I have not yet come across a book or tutorial that I would qualify as mostly understandable. Usually there are concepts or mysterious code snippets that go unexplained. This is intended to let you know what to expect rather than discourage you. As Objective C and Xcode "matures", things are "optimized" that may create confusion for the new programmer. For example, now Apple is saying we don't have to synthesize properties as Xcode does it automatically. That will create confusion for new programmers. But those programmers who were around for the transition to automatic synthesizing will know what the deal is. You will pick up on these things. It takes time and patience. You will probably want to learn C at a basic level. Plenty of tutorials for this on the web. The best Objective-C books I have found are linked below. http://www.amazon.com/iOS-Programming-Ranch-Edition-Guides/dp/0321821521/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1351682103&sr=8-2&keywords=hillegass+objective-c http://www.amazon.com/Objective-C-Programming-Dummies-Neal-Goldstein/dp/111821398X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1351682144&sr=1-1&keywords=dummies+objective-c I don't like the Kindle version of programming books because I need to write in the book. Annotation does not exist in the Kindle as far as I know. Kindle does not easily allow the user to print pages either. Best wishes and God bless you, Paul Lohr ... View more

Thanks for helping, Tim. That seems to work well. I need to setup a table and text formatting using html. That would be difficult if the html had to go in the fields of the feature class. I will keep looking around. Maybe someone has another idea? Thanks for trying, Tim. ... View more

When you registered your layers as versioned, did you select the "move edits to base" option? It seems like I have seen problems when this option was selected. If it is easy to test, maybe try changing this setting one way or the other. Sorry for being vague - this is all I remember. Are you looking at the featureServer service on both the iOS and the Windows device? As opposed to MapServer on one device and featureServer on the other? Do the changes from the Trimble Juno show up if you put the featureServer service in an ArcGIS Explorer Online map? This might tell us if we have an issue on the client side or server side.
