In MicroStrategy Mobile client 10 and lower, ESRI map could be only supported in Visual Insight (VI) dashboard. Starting from MicroStrategy Mobile client 10.1 for iOS, ESRI map is supported in MicroStrategy Report Services Document (RSD), too. But basically, MicroStrategy 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 MicroStrategy Mobile client can directly display ESRI Map on iOS now, but only use Apple Map on mobile to display the ESRI Map defined on Web instead of showing it as Grid in 10 and lower. The following table shows the details:
| Map defined on Web | Web base map | Mobile base map for iOS |
| Google Map in VI | Google Map | Apple Map |
| Google Map in RSD | Google Map | Apple Map |
| ESRI Map in VI | ESRI Map | Apple Map |
| ESRI Map in RSD | ESRI Map | Apple Map in 10.1 (showing Grid in 10 and lower) |
