Thank you for your response. I have already adjusted the road label placement in our basemaps so that the road names always appear on screen. I ended up not changing the municipal boundary in the basemap because our users prefer having the municipal boundary as an operational layer, so we just use the municipal boundary operational layer to clearly delineate where the municipal boundary ends. However, as we move away from ArcMap and go to Portal I hope to transition our users to having the municipal boundary in the basemap instead of an operational layer in every web map. So there is renewed interest in clearly marking the edge of the municipal boundary in our basemaps.

We published and use the General Purpose and Imagery Reference Overlay. We have really like the color schemes of those basemaps. The biggest issues with the General Purpose was the readability of the labels, the lack of repeating road names, and difficultly seeing where the city limits end. The labels are a little difficult to read in vector format and they become even more difficult to read once the basemap is rasterized. The lack of repeating road labels made you pan around the map at certain scales to find the name of a road that you were looking at. The transition from "in the city" to "out of the city" is hard to see on some monitors. It would be nice to add a dashed line to clarify the point of transition. The main things that we changed for the Imagery Reference Overlay were making the road labels repeat, increasing the transparency of the road lines, and enabled symbol levels on the road lines. We also looked at using Mobile Day, Mobile Night, Public Safety, and Zoning. However, we ended up not using any of them. The Mobile Day and Mobile Night were too difficult to read once rasterized. Our map service for Public Safety would not work properly in our police and fire departments systems and they ended up continuing to use the Esri Streets basemap. The Zoning basemap's road labels were too difficult to read and our users preferred having zoning as an operational layer instead of a basemap. Going forward, I am trying to convince city administration to allow us to participate in the Community Maps Program so we can just leverage Esri's basemaps but still see our data. I like the symbology of Esri's vector basemaps. The only thing that is missing are address labels, but we can always overlay those ourselves for our maps. I should add that we will not be moving to vector basemaps until they support exporting/printing across most of platform.

As of ArcGIS Pro 1.3.1, it has NOT been included. I hear Pro 1.4 is supposed to be released this month and that will be one of the first things I look for. I will let you know if I find it or not.

On the Try It Live site for the Park Locator, the search results never display after searching for an address or activity when on a mobile device. It still draws the blue circle and selects the closest park but nothing else happens. Also, it is very difficult to select a park on a mobile device (actually it is difficult using a mouse on a computer too) . The app always selects a trail, even if it is a ways off from the park you tapped on. I was able to replicate the issue on an iPhone 5 and a Windows 10 Mobile. Is anyone else experiencing these issues and do you have a workaround? For the time being we will continue to use the old Park & Recreation Finder app.

Is there a change log for the 10.2.1 release? On a side note, don't install ArcGIS for Windows Mobile 10.2.1 if you are using Trimble Positions. Trimble Positions currently does not support 10.2.1 (I tried updating before Trimble officially announced the incompatibility) and if you have upgraded to ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3 you have to roll back to ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.2 to get the mobile tools to activate again. It's things like this that make me look forward to the changes coming in ArcGIS Collector later this year. It has not been much fun trying to keep ArcGIS and Trimble in sync with each other, though I will admit Trimble has gotten better about releasing close to if not before major Esri updates.

Please release Universal apps for at least Collector and Explorer, if not all your mobile apps. With the upcoming release of Windows 10 and a unified app store, now is a great time to make these apps available for Windows. Windows desperately needs new light-weight, modern GIS apps for non-GIS users. ArcMap is too much for non-GIS users and ArcGIS for Windows Mobile is too little and too far behind the rest of ArcGIS. ArcGIS Online is nice, except that many users do not always have a reliable internet connection.

This is what I have heard and this is from a post back in July 2014: "Currently there are no updates planned for the ArcGIS for Windows Mobile program but we encourage you to test out our other mobile applications such as Collector for ArcGIS, Explorer for ArcGIS, and Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS." Here is a link to the post: ArcGIS for Windows Mobile version and download I really do not understand why Esri is being so silent on their mobile plans for the Windows platform. I asked about their mobile plans for the Windows platform at the 2013 User Conference and no one from Esri would give me any kind of an answer.

I imported a MXD into an ArcGIS Pro project and everything came over including the legend. However, the legend now shows all the features in the map. There are too many features in the map to show them all in the legend at one time, which is why I am trying to find the setting to only show the features in the current extent. I cannot find this setting, did it make it into ArcGIS Pro?

Thank you for the reply but unfortunately we are already doing both of those things. Our ArcGIS Server account is a domain account and the link you provided is the same help document that I used to created our Export Web Map service for printing secure services. What I cannot figure out is why Windows Authentication causes it to fail but HTTP Basic and HTTP Digest work just fine. Obviously, it is not using the credentials that I supplied when publishing the Export Web Map tool and it is not using the user's credentials that requested the print. I had figured that one of those credentials would have been used to run the print service but it seems like another credential is being used instead. But why would ArcGIS Server do that when it uses the correct credentials for any other kind of service that it is running?

Hello everyone, I have published an Export Web Map tool as a geoprocessing service for printing some of our secure services. The problem is when I use Windows Integrated Authentication (WIA) the tool fails every time with "Unable to connect to map server at....." for each secure service in the web map and ends the error message with "Client tried to access password-protected page without proper authorization.". What's crazy (at least to me) is changing the authentication of ArcGIS Server to HTTP Basic or HTTP Digest fixes the problem it runs just fine. I have run the custom Export Web Map tool on my computer and the copy that it put on the server after I published it, and both copies run just fine and I used multiple accounts that have sufficient permissions. It is only when I try to run the geoprocessing service using WIA that I get an error. To test the geoprocessing service I did not use my app. Instead I simply ran it through the Services Directory. I provided the exact same parameters as I did when I ran the tool (not the service) in ArcMap. Like I said earlier the only thing that I have to change to get it working is switching from WIA to HTTP Basic or HTTP Digest. I am using the same credentials when I change the authentication method as well. So is this a bug or is there some magical setting that is not documented to get WIA to work? Also, everything else works when using WIA, such as dynamic map services, tiled map services, feature services, geocoding services, heck even a geodata service. I am using: Windows Server 2008 R2 ArcGIS for Server Enterprise Advanced 10.2 with all the available patches Windows Domain user store ArcGIS Server Built-in role store Web Tier authentication Web Tier authentication mode
