What is an operational map layer?

Operational map layers contain the editable content of your mobile project. They are vector-based, point, line, and polygon data that your field crew can query, edit, and synchronize in the field. Operational map layers are stored inside a mobile cache for use in the ArcGIS for Windows Mobile field applications. A mobile cache is a lightweight database designed for use in ArcGIS for Windows Mobile.

All map layers, both operational and basemap, must share the same spatial reference. You may need to reproject your data to ensure that this requirement is met.
