About Navigator for ArcGIS
Navigator for ArcGIS is a mobile app that integrates with other ArcGIS apps and provides a complete navigation experience. To use Navigator, a licensed subscription is needed and must be managed by a portal administrator. All portal members can download and install Navigator from their device’s native marketplace, for example, iTunes. However, the app will not function unless the member is signed in and the account has been configured with a license.
Purchase and download Navigator for ArcGIS entitlements through My Esri, and import the entitlements in the ArcGIS Portal Directory. You can then provision Navigator licenses to members of your portal through the portal website.
