Currently it seems the default behavior of the Auto-Pan Navigation mode where the screen will pan and rotate based on location updates and the direction the device is traveling, is if you pan or zoom in/out the map, it takes the user out of Navigation mode.  Is there any way to prevent this from happening?  As is, it's pretty frustrating for users who are in navigating and then want to zoom in or out suddenly get kicked out of that mode and into the map facing north.  Seems more like a bug than expected behavior.  ...

We are noticing a pretty large battery drain when using our iOS app.  The app utilizes the GPS a fair amount and wondering if that doesn't have alot to do with it.  Would it help to have an icon to toggle off the GPS so that it completely turns off the use of the GPS, or is that even possible?  I'm not seeing anywhere in the Guide or API which mentions the GPS is completely being turned off, but only where the location icon shows or not. ...

I understand how to take a tiled map service offline using the sideload method which unfortunately is way more steps that I think most people will and want to take.  Feature Services are super easy to quickly take offline, but I'm not seeing a way to easily download a tiled map service outside of the sideload tpk file method. ...

I'm pretty excited about the new Landscape layers such as the various Soil type imagery services.  Does anyone know if it possible to clip out small areas of that imagery service since I only need the soil data on small area and it will look much cleaner if I can clip to ta feature class of my area of interest.  Thanks ...

Even though I have the setting checked to automatically cache tiles at the time you publish within an ArcGIS online organization account, it never does this.  Every time I have to go to arcgis.com and open up the map service and manually create the cache tiles from there.  Is there an additional setting or step I'm missing? ...

Xamarin seems to possibly have the best cross-platform development tools allowing the ability to reuse the same C# code across iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows RT and still utilize native UI tools for each platform.  I'm curious if anyone has any experience utilizing the Xamarin SDK with the ArcGIS Runtime?  And if so have you had any issues or concerns with using the product?  Looks it's a pretty popular idea on the ideas.arcgis.com site with a combined of 3 related posts with a combined points total of 170 points.  http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=087E00000004GV8IAM http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=08730000000bxPrAAI http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=087E00000004VjaIAE ...

So I know I can apply custom symbols in ArcMap before publishing a hosted feature service or individually change symbols in the ArcGIS viewer by importing a symbol from url but I was hoping there was some way to quickly add unique symbols to all attributes much like how importing a layer package in ArcMap works.  I know there is a way to have an empty feature service with all the symbology there but I was hoping for something similar but for new features added directly on ArcGIS.com.   Basically if I have a shp file with say 15 point features that I want a unique symbol that shows a push-pin that has actual number labels on them (1 thru 15)  If I click "Add Item" and select the shp file and have the option to use an existing feature service's symbology or attach a layer package for symbology.  Thus it wouldn't show the default orange points but rather the symbology I selected.  Maybe there is another way to currently do something like this now? ...
