- Then in ArcGIS Online, we’ll go through the steps involved in validating your uploaded map and creating an offline area.
- Next, we’ll cover the steps involved with downloading Esri’s Collector (a free app) to your mobile device or tablet.
- Finally, we’ll cover the process for downloading the offline area to your mobile device.
