    Hi, All.

    I created a map navigation app using GeoBase and we are on the process of deploying this to one of our "units" (windows xpe). Do I need to install something in our "units" in order for the map to run? or the referenced "geobase.net.dll" in our application would suffice?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    The device needs .NET Compact Framework installed. You also need to make sure that all the GeoBase Mobile DLLs (geobase.mobile.net.dll, geobase.mobile.dll, and geobase.drawing.dll) and your license file are in the output folder.

    Regards,
    Sharon

    Thanks for your response Sharon.

    I actually created a windows user control component for the map and is referenced in our main application. I only used the "geobase.net.dll" since our application is a desktop application.

    Do I still need those mobile dlls or the "geobase.net.dll" would be enough?

    Please advise.

    You do need geobase.mobile.dll, assuming the device is running Windows Mobile/CE.

    See the "Creating a Mobile Project" section of the documentation for more information.

    This is under GeoBase Mobile -> Mobile Development with GeoBase in the documentation and online here:

    http://docs.geobase.info/html/4b78735e-fefc-42c4-b00e-816359ff3e3a.htm

    To run an application a mobile device you also need a mobile license. These end in .gbl, unlike .lic for the desktop licenses. If you don't have one of these, you will need to email gbsupport@telogis.com to get an evaluation license.

    Thanks Sean.

    I was confused with "mobile" term (I thought for mobile phones only). I understand now since we have Win CE .NET 4.2; XP Embedded and also known as Windows Mobile device.

    When I tried to deploy our application with the GeoBase map it actually crashes. Would this be the cause of it?

    So this license (.gbl) can work offline right?

    If you don't have a GBL license then that's definitely the issue and you'll need to contact support to get one.

    The GBL license does need an internet connection the first time it's used so it can be activated with our license server.
