Supported layer and data types

Only a subset of the map layer types that you include in ArcMap is supported in a mobile service, hosted feature 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, hosted feature service, and 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

Supported by hosted feature service

Notes

Yes

Yes

Simple feature layers are fully supported.

Annotation layer
