I'm trying this method but I keep getting the following error: "SyntaxError: invalid or missing encoding declaration" when it gets to the 2nd line to actually run my model. ... View more

Thanks Mark.  I found that if I increase the MINIMUM_MAP_WIDTH in the maptour-config.js it changes the map along with the picture panel as it uses that in the calculations.  Basically it takes the size of your screen and subtracts the MINIMUM_MAP_WIDTH from that to get the size of the picture panel.   When downloading the application I don't have a folder named src/app/storymaps/maptour/ui/desktop/PicturePanel.js  but I did find the calculation in the maptour-viewer-min.js.  The code is horrible as it uses functions named J, K, Q, etc.. I had to debug step by step to find the correct function.  Perhaps I didn't download from the correct place? ... View more

Does this work if you don't have your own portal setup?  I've tried your steps and use the url for the service but when I publish the survey it says The custom feature service submission url is not compatible with this survey (Request error) and I did read in ESRI's documentation that it doesn't work with just an ArcGIS Server Service. ...

This is what finally worked.  Taking James' suggestion, I created a map service and created a map tile cache for all levels (down to 1128 - Building).  I then used the Export Map Server Cache as suggested to create the tpk file.  This also lets you use an area of interest but I didn't do that.  The resulting tpk file was 4GB and ran MUCH faster in my surveys.   Why does the Share As Tile Package take 24+ hours to create cache and creates a file that is 35GB when it only takes 1 hour to create the map server cache and the Export Map Server Cache creates a tpk file that is only 4GB?  Seems there is a bug in this process.  ESRI, please change your tutorial for creating offline maps so that the process is to create map cache and then Export Map Server Cache.  I've been working on trying to get this to run faster for 2 weeks now and doing it this way solved my problem. ...

Thank you James.  I've also noticed a major problem when I do create a tpk file using the Share As option using all levels.  I need to cache down to the building level as we are doing damage assessments and must see the buildings on our aerials.   We also need to be able to see our parcels and addresses so the person who is doing the damage assessment can reference them on the map. We need the base map disconnected because we have areas in our county that do not have service ever, and if there was a major disaster, chances are there won't be service in many other areas.  My tpk file is 35GB.  I was not able to publish my survey if I put this file in the media folder and I can understand that...pushing 35GB over the internet would be an issue.   So I moved the tpk file to my media folder in Survey123 Connect and set my default map for the survey to it.  Before publishing, I removed the tpk file.  In this way, it published my survey to ArcGISOnline but didn't try to upload the actual tpk file.   When someone downloads the survey, it's still pointing to the tpk file as the default map and I can manually move the tpk into the media folder of the survey.   However, when I use the survey, the map is extremely slow,   To the point where it draws one tile, then waits for 10 - 20 seconds, then draws another tile etc.  I'm assuming that since it's using a tpk file, it is having to expand it first in memory before it can access each tile that I need.  Since the file is so large, this is what is causing the slow down, is it not?  I realize that Survey 1-2-3 only works with tpk files but to make this actually work the way it should (which SHOULD be faster than accessing it on the web), are there any plans to have Survey 1-2-3 work with the actual tiles?  In this way, I would be able to export the tiles from the tpk once which should make it work a lot faster. What I would really like to see is that I can have a survey that works both offline and online with both the feature layer and the basemap.  ESRI makes it seem like this works because if you ask them if it works offline they will tell you yes it does.  And technically speaking, they are right.  The feature layer does work offline and I can plot points as needed whether I am connected or not.  But practically speaking, it doesn't work because if I have no basemap to use a reference when I'm disconnected, how can I possibly know where I want to put the point?  In most cases for a damage assessment, just getting my current lat/long won't work unless I'm standing on the site of the building.  That's all well and good, but what if the building is no longer there???  This happened in Louisana where houses just floated away. ...

The other feature is not part of the same map service but is added as a featurelayer.  I had also thought about doing a spatial query with a buffer but then I found something about FindNearest which uses the spatial analyst service.  However, I don't want to use ESRI's spatial analyst service.  I want to build my own but I'm not sure how to do that. ...

Yes Robert.  That's exactly what I'm saying.  When some enters a parcel key I zoom to it.  But really what I want to do is set the extent so that the nearest point to that parcel polygon, along with the polygon itself, is displayed. ... View more
