Overview
You can design beautiful maps in ArcGIS For Desktop. You can ship the MXD file off to ArcGIS For Server to turn them into web maps.
But what if you want to create a map in ArcMap and then turn it into a map displayed in some less expensive web server?
- Create map in ArcMap
- Generate tile package
- Copy tile package to server
- Server unpacks tile package and service contents.
Voila!
Is this possible?
What is a tile package?
ESRI help page: About tile packages
What does "Enable ArcGIS Runtime Tools" mean?
What does it mean "Automatically select location" vs "Use user specified location"?
TPK file contents
It is a zip file, which is what I expected. Inside the zip are "bundle" files which are in "Compact cache" format.
