ArcGIS Field Maps

This app is great for collecting data when we are in the field and to review later. The app itself crashes often and doesn’t load or submit information. Tried back in the office on WiFi and still had loading issues. Logging in right now has been a pain because it keeps cycling instead of connecting. Hopefully it is fixed or improved soon.

Has potential to make your data work for you in amazing ways if you have the technical background to set it up correctly. My biggest gripe is that it really needs an update that allows your location icon to show you which way you are pointing. This is a very basic navigation feature that many apps include and esri is really slacking not including this yet. Would also like the compass feature to be more readily accessible. I’m am trying to get my agency folks to adopt FieldMaps more broadly and it still doesn’t have features that a handheld Garmin GPS has. You really gotta show people which way they are pointing and a direct route to their chosen location to traverse wooded landscapes.

It’s got great capabilities but I’ve had to delete and re download numerous times this last 3 weeks due to it just not loading anything even after app restart. It works after a full delete and re install but it very annoying
