    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
    Remarks
    The following conversions are supported (the map referenced by the map item is tested): o Map -> Base map, Scene (Global), Scene (Local)
    o BaseMap -> Map
    o Scene (Global) -> Map
    o Scene (Local) -> Map
    Specifying an invalid conversion type will return false
    Note: If MapConversionType.SceneGlobal is specified, if the map item's map spatial reference contains a vertical coordinate system, the VCS is checked to see if it is compatible with a global scene. If it is not, the method will also return false
