[gpl_list] Projections for AGOL

[Diana Walker]

Hi All,
I am wondering when you publish a feature service to AGOL or a service to ArcServer to be used on AGOL what projection to you use?

I was told by Eric E. to always use WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere, for various reasons.

Well we had discovered an issue with this projection in using the measure tool in AGOL viewer.  Call Esri, the Tech told me I need to us WGS_1984 geographic projection and not a project coordinate system projection, such as WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere.  The fun (ha ha thing) is that the WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere, was not giving us measuring problems a month ago. 

Therefore my question.

Thanks,

Diana
