The Export to TerraGo Edge tool allows the user to export the selected map frame to Edge Notebooks and MBTiles tile caches. Edge Notebooks and MBTiles tile caches are used to provide basemaps for applications delivered to TerraGo Edge mobile clients. Edge Notebooks are used to organize applications deployed on TerraGo Edge and use MBTiles tile caches to store the basemap information. MBTiles tile caches are a popular, published file-based Web mapping standard used by a variety of applications including TerraGo Edge.
For instructions on how to access the Export to TerraGo Edge tool, see Accessing the GeoPDF Composer Toolbar.
