Hi, This video is the second part of four planned videos about how to bring your map to the field using popular Android and iOS mapping apps. For this second part. I will demonstrate the ArcGIS Mobile Map Package (MMPK) format, which is, unfortunately, only supported in the ArcGIS software family. I will demonstrate how to write the MMPK in ArcGIS Pro, followed by how to load the MMPK into the ArcGIS Field Maps available on Android and iOS.

MMPK can be treated as a complete mobile mapping data package. It supports various types of vector and raster layers in ArcGIS Native format (shapefiles, rasters, geodatabases, network datasets, locators, and even the ability to reference Map and Feature Services in the mobile app). If you store the vector layer in MMPK, you will retain all the attributes (or not, up to you). This implementation is quite different from other types of offline data packaging, such as Vector Tile. MMPK also has an expiration feature. So, when the expiration date is passed, the map is no longer possible to open in any mobile app. MMPK loading in ArcGIS mobile app (such as ArcGIS Field Maps or ArcGIS Navigator) can also be done anonymously. However, this anonymous access is only available if you publish the MMPK using the ArcGIS Publisher Extension for ArcGIS Pro (sold separately from the main ArcGIS Pro License).
