HI Guenther, You can edit you Map Navigator to have the fixed zoom in and out tools on it if you like ... View more

Hi Jeffrey, Currently ArcPad only displays web services that are in web mercator. This means, at this stage, your data would have to be in Web Mercator too. ... View more

Do you only have ArcPad or can you utilise ArcGIS aswell? Can you provide any lines of data for us to have a look at? As always there are many ways to skin a cat: My first step would probably convert the file using ArcGIS - Create Featureclass from XY Event Table If you only have ArcPad then a script could help you out. You would access the txt file through the CreateAppObject("File") method, and then you would have to read each line into the DBF Console.clear 'Create Variables dim MyFile, MyLine, MyArray, i, X, Y 'Create File Object Set myFile = Application.CreateAppObject("File") 'Open the Text File MyFile.Open "C:\Temp\Goofa.txt" 'Now loop through until you get to the end of the fiel While not MyFile.EOF 'Set the vaiable of each line MyLine = MyFile.ReadLine 'Set the Array Up by splitting the line of Text by a comma MyArray = Split(MyLine, ",", -1, 1) 'Now look at each part of the text string to pull out the coordinates For i = 0 to UBound(MyArray)    'Console.print("i: " & i & " == " & MyArray(i))    If i = 11 then          'These values refer to my data. Use the Console.print to find out which section you need for the coordinates.     X = MyArray(i)    End If    If i = 12 then     Y = MyArray(i)    End If Next 'Create the shapefile Point from the coordinates of each line without showing the EditForm Call Map.AddFeatureXY(X, Y, False) Wend MsgBox "Done" Not a complete answer yet but hopefully if you throw some more information at to this then we will get a solid result.

Hi dashiell, Currently there is no support for ArcPad on Windows Phone 7. At this stage no professional hardware manufacturer (such as Trimble, Juniper, Magellan...) is developing on this platform or Android or Apple IOS. It is not to say it won't. The natural progression is to Windows Embedded 7 - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/windows-embedded-standard-7.aspx and continuation of Desktop support. If you want, put it up as a thought on the IDEAS Portal. This is where customers get to vote on suggestions for improvement and ESRI take these ideas into consideration through development. http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaList?c=09a300000004xET&category=ArcPad ...

 Hi everyone, You can work around this already in ArcPad. We posted an applet on the ArcPad Code Gallery that enables you to turn on the snapping visibility for a feature. http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/arcpad/details?entryID=A111C78F-1422-2418-7FF4-33639B566F15 ... View more

Hi Nathan, Yes you could do this with scripting. You could read, dbf, xml, csv etc. Using the Recordset object you can add a file and then scroll through the records and map eaxh one. Whether it be to a graphic or into a feature layer is up to you. There is a sample called MultiNav that shows how to interact with XML data. Hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Gregory, Create a point by clicking on the screen, when the edit form pops up fill out your attribute informaton and then go to the geography tab. Here you will see the x and Y values. Edit them and your done. I hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi, I should be a little clearer when talking about file servers. This could just be a folder on your own PC. Therefore if you want all your photos to be stored on c:\projects\Photos\ then put that in your photo path and when you synchronize your data through the get Data from ArcPad, it will move the files there and then run the calculate field on your dataset so the links automatically work on the desktop. While you are working in ArcPad and you take a photo it will automatically remember where you have placed your photos (look at the Options tab - Camera to set path) and you can use either the hyperlink tool or the identify/edit form and navigate to the photo page. I hope this helps ... View more

Hi guys, At the moment ArcPad 10 does not use attachments. It has always had the ability to create hyperlinks and now you can store the correct path of your file server when you are setting up your project e.g. When you check your data in it will copy from the sd card to the correct network location and basically run a calculate field over your data so the paths are pointing to the correct location. So the hardiest thing is to decide where you are going to store the photos so people have access to them in this project, across your organisation and potentially the web. Hope this helps. Gareth ...

Hi Mike, How are you trying to use the filter? in a script to filter records or in the layer properties filter tab? Can you provide any more information and we can go from there. Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Charles, Here is one way of doing it if you are still looking for a response. Sub GetGenusValue Dim objForm, objPage, genusValue, genusText Set objForm = Application.Applets("fillForm").Forms("FORM1") Set objPage = objForm.Pages("PAGE1") genusValue = objPage.Controls("cboGenus").Value genusText = objPage.Controls("cboGenus").Text 'MsgBox genusValue & " " & genusText Call GetSpeciesValue(genusValue,objPage) End Sub Sub GetSpeciesValue(genusValue,objPage) objPage.Controls("cboSpecies").Clear Dim objRS Set objRS = Application.CreateAppObject("RecordSet") objRS.Open(preferences.properties("AppletsPath") & "\Species.dbf") objRS.MoveFirst Call objPage.Controls("cboSpecies").AddItemsFromTable(preferences.properties("AppletsPath") & "\Species.dbf", "Species", "Species", ("[GID]= " & genusValue)) objRS.Close End Sub I hope this helps.

Hi Graham, Great post it is good to see that templates are being effective for you. I especially like your third point - test until your happy with the project. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Ganesh, Yes, if the device is Windows Mobile 6.5.3 you will be fine. Please post how you find the experience on that phone for others. Even some videos of it would be cool. Any Windows mobile 5.0 - 6.5.3 and CE 5 and 6 are also compatible. Good luck with your new device ... View more
