Greetings All,

I have been looking into an IOS app to use local cahched data via a tile package. I need to have my entrie dataset cahched to be useful. Is there a size limit on the tile package? Is a tile package one hugh file? I have not got my 10.1 yet so I have not tried to make the package myself.

Thanks, Russell

I have my tile set broken down into bundles for each scale.
They vary from a few K to 6.7GB in size.

Total size in the app's Documents is 11.5GB.

(that's the exploded map cache)

I haven't tried .tpk files yet.

1. There is no size limit as such for .tpk. It depends on the available space on your device.
2. Yes, it's a one file.

I created AGSLocalTiledLayer with 25GB tpk file and it works great.

Thanks for the info. I did get to make a tpk and it is much bigger than the exploded cache from server for the same area.

Did you create AGSLocalTiledLayer with that tile package? Is it working fine?

So are you reading this on an Android Device.  I made a 17.5GB Tile Package, but when I try to copy it to my Motorola Xoom, I get a message that the file cannot be copied.  I find it is because the SD Card is formatted as FAT32.  I formatted it as NTFS and managed top copy the file over to the card via my PC, but now the card is not recognized in my Xoom.  This is a real show stopper if Android does not support NTFS and I can't have a Tile Package greater than 4GB.

Luke,

Please post your Android question on ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android forums.
