Offline Mapping

Use the Offline Mapping feature to allow users to use map layers (MMPK files) in iOS, Android, and Windows versions of UtiliSphere when they are offline, based on their group membership. The map layers are automatically downloaded to iOS, Android, and Windows users when they sync their data.

Keep your offline maps current by using the Upload MMPK feature to replace old MMPK files with new ones (see Modify an Offline Mapping, step 3: Upload MMPK).

  1. On the top menu bar, click System Management ( ) > Administration > General > Offline Mapping
  2. On the Offline Mapping Summary page, in the upper right, click Create New Offline Mapping
  3. On the New Offline Map page, fill in the fields. See Modify an Offline Mapping, step 3, below
