Supported layer and data types

Only a subset of the map layer types that you include in ArcMap is supported in a mobile service or mobile cache built by the Create Mobile Cache geoprocessing tool for ArcGIS for Windows Mobile. Note that there is a slight difference in the number of map layer types supported by a mobile service versus a mobile cache created using the mobile geoprocessing tool.Those supported layers include the following:

ArcGIS layer type	Supported by mobile service	Supported by mobile cache created by GP tool	Notes
Feature layer (point, line, polygon)	Yes	Yes	Simple feature layers are fully supported.
Annotation layer	Yes	Yes	Text-only support.
Shapefile	Yes	Yes	Shapefile is read-only and queryable.
Map graphics layer	No	No	Graphic objects stored on the map display are not supported.
ArcIMS feature layer	No	No	ArcIMS feature layers are not supported.
Image service layer	No	No	Raster layers served using the Image extension for ArcGIS Server are not supported.
Image service layer (ArcIMS, ArcGIS Online)	No	No	ArcGIS Online dynamic image services are not supported.
Computer-aided design (CAD) feature layer	No	No	CAD feature layers are not supported.
CAD layer, CAD annotation layer	No	No	CAD text and the layer file are not supported.
Raster Catalog layer	No	No	Raster Catalog layers are not supported.
Topology layer	No	No	Topology layers are not supported.
Archive layer	Yes	Yes	Archive layers are treated as simple feature layers.
Network analysis layer	No	No	Network analysis layers cannot be downloaded and are not supported.
Data Interoperability layer	Yes	No	Only direct-read layers are supported by mobile service.

Coverage annotation layer	No	No	Coverage annotation layers are not supported.
Dimension layer	No	No	Dimension layers are not supported.
Tracking layer	Yes	No	Tracking layers are supported by mobile services and are displayed as a point feature layer, but not supported by geoprocessing tools.
Layer with a representation	No	No	Feature layers with representation rules are not supported.
