KB260817: New feature for ESRI map support in MicroStrategy Mobile 10.1 for iOS

• Strategy

ESRI maps can be used on MicroStrategy Mobile beginning with version 10.1, but they are rendered using Apple Maps.

In Strategy Mobile client 10 and lower, ESRI maps could be only supported in Visual Insight (VI) dashboards. Starting with Strategy Mobile client 10.1 for iOS, ESRI maps are supported in Strategy Report Services Document (RSD), too. But basically, Strategy Mobile use Apple Map as the base map for both the Google and ESRI Map defined on Web. So the new feature does not mean Strategy Mobile client can directly display ESRI Maps on iOS now, but only uses Apple Maps on mobile to display the ESRI Map defined on Web instead of showing it as a grid in 10 and lower. The following table summarizes the details:
