I read the documentation and have been using the REST API to create several tile packages (*.tpk files) from the World Topo basemap for a very long hiking trail (the red line in the diagram below). Each .tpk file looks good on its own, but they are for different sections of the trail. I think what I need to do next for my mobile application that I'll be working on is to get them all into a single .tpk file. How can I accomplish that? I tried the Import Tile Cache geoprocessing tool, but either that didn't work or I'm not understanding what it does. Also, I tried using the "AreaOfInterest" parameter documented in the REST API hoping that I could pass in the coordinates of a polygonal buffer (the olive green buffer around the red line in the image below) of the trail and I would get just those tiles (in light yellow) that intersect the buffer; unfortunately it exported all the tiles within the bounding box of the polygon (which is far far more tiles than I need.
So if I can solve either one of those problems to get a single .tpk of the trail (and not bunches of tiles I don't need), I'll be happy!
Thanks.
=EDIT=
In the original post, I suggested that the AreaOfInterest property was not working properly. It is working just fine. User Error! The following URL will export out a nice diagonal area in southern Canada.
