Navigation extension

Description

This extension sample shows how to integrate an ArcGIS Mobile application with ArcLogistics Navigator for navigation. It allows you to select a point feature in the ArcGIS Mobile application, send the location to ArcLogistics Navigator as a destination, and navigate to it using the ArcLogistics Navigator Remote API. You will also learn how to extend the feature list pop-up menu.

4. Build and deploy the Mobile Project assembly file (comes with the sample project) to the <ArcGIS Mobile installation path>\bin\Extensions folder on your desktop where you will author your mobile project with the Mobile Project Center application.
5. In Mobile Project Center, add the extension to your project on the Capabilities tab.
