I am getting the error message re version 1.9.1 as well on one of my maps.  There are suggestions to clear the browser cache (which I have done with no success).  If there is a specific way this should be done (other than the browser clear cache option) could they be posted.

Mike, I made the map public so you can have a look (I hope this does not create any complications when I switch back, I noticed some sharing settings had to be updated to make this possible). The map name is BEC - New Providence & Paradise Island I will have to restrict the sharing by the end of the day if you do not indicate more time is needed. Burlington ... View more

I am having the same problem with empty shape files "missing spatial reference information" message.  I saw where it was indicated that this issue was fixed, but another user posted after that that they were still having the same problem. Can someone indicate if this still a known issue. I have also had it happen on shapefiles that initially had data and were fine but had the data deleted (as part of the normal work process).  This would suggest that at least one element must be left in the shapefile at all times, even after successful loading into the map.

I cannot find any to the point instructions on how to track the location of a data collector using the combination of Collector and Operational Dashboard.  Everything I have seen suggests at all you have to do is add a location tracking feature service to your map save it. Fire up operational dashboard add the map, and Bobs your uncle everything works fine. But this is not the case. Can someone direct me to where I can find clear instructions on the process, requirements, etc. Using Arcgis Online (AGOL) Organization Account Collector 10.2 Dashboard 10.2 BFS ... View more

Woodbwp, I seems we have both hit the same road block.  My challenge is that the ESRI personnel that monitor this forum are not commenting on our issue.  I have seen numerous comments that indicate that what we are looking to do should be possible in the latest issue (and even previous issues) of the product, but no clear instructions on how to achieve the end we desire. Given that the desktop product supports gps units you would think it only natural that it would support access to arcgis online content.  Since their other mobile products collector and arcgis mobile for smartphones can do it it is clear that the technical capability exists.  In 2010 Mike from ESRI wrote in this forum "The imminent ArcGIS Explorer 1500 greatly improves the integration of ArcGIS Explorer, ArcGIS Explorer Online and ArcGIS.com." We are in 2013 now right?  Yet it still seems the ESRI format content that you place on the ESRI online servers (for which I pay an substantial organisation subscription) cannot be used in an ESRI product. I hope I am wrong.  I hope someone will show that this is so easy to do that I am ashamed of even placing this post (I an handle the embarrassment in the face of a simple working solution).  Maybe someone for ESRI will weigh in and provide some clarity on the issue.

Has there been any progress with respect to Explorer Desktop being able to open maps created and hosted on arcgis online?  I have a map that can be opened by explorer online but not by explorer desktop.  The comments in 2010 seem to suggest this would be addressed in the next release of explorer desktop however I am still experiencing the same issue. ...
