Overview

I am looking at the package types supported in ArcGIS 10.1. I read the page here but I want a few more details collected in one place so I am writing this page.

Geoprocessing package (.gpk)

Layer package (.lpk)

These are apparently extensions of layer files (.lyr) that have been around forever. The layer package is a container for a layer file and its associated data.

Locator package (.gcpk)

Map package (.mpk)

Tile package (.tpk)

I already wrote some stuff here about ArcGIS and Tiled Maps. A tile package is an ESRI-specific container for a cache of raster tiles.
