We upgraded our Mobile Map Works (MMW) server to 2016 and recently downloaded as well the MMW Essentials app from the app store to take advantage of the app on smartphone devices. When entering our server URL in the app we encounter the following error: "Server communication error"
No configurations are accessible with the existing server. All is well when accessed from tablet. Why can't we access the MMW server from MMW Essentials app on the smartphone device?
Mobile Map Works (the product) is different from Mobile Map Works Essentials (the app) and in fact the two are incompatible. This is why the server communication error is presented. MMW Essentials will not connect to a MMW server.
In order to connect to a MMW server the MMW app is required which is supported on tablets and not smartphones.
