which Coordinate system should i use?

[martywalters]

when I create a (point) feature class for ArcMobile should i select a Geographic Coordinate System

or should i select a Projected Coordinate System.

it seems like you need both, but can only select one

Also, In ArcMobile the data feature classes and the OffLine basemap need to be the the same Coordinate System

I can't seem to override that like i can in ArcMap.

when I export a geo Coordinate test I get the following warning about not having Projected data.

then when I mix in ArcMap  with a GeoSpatial reference  for the data and projection reference for the data frame properties i get the following error.

"ArcTutor\Editing" examples "Track" feature class has the same issues with

Export Feature Attribute to ASCII...

I exported the canned data and its latitudes and longitudes are way off!

here are 4 examples:

is there a way to get export to work?

marty,

  You're posting to the wrong area on GeoNet.  This is the GeoNet Help place (or space?).

Goto theGeoNet Community Structure and you'll see all the other location at least one of which will be an appropriate forum.  Also be sure to use TAGS.

use what I've got... just use 

ArcObject CoordinateTransformation to convert!!!
