I'm helping a field researcher get set up for a summer trip to a SA rainforest, collecting frog observations. She will be using Field Maps for this work (past studies used ArcPad). Because the observations will typically not be at the exact location of the observer, the usual method is to collect an offset (angle and distance do the observation from the observers taken GPS point). I guess ArcPad as an option to add this offset info during the point capture.
Is there a method for doing the same thing in Field Maps?
I see that Field Maps as offset capture instructions (here) but this seems to require a laser range finder which the group does not have funds for.
Edited to add: the offsets will be in degrees and meters (not centimeters). The distances are due mostly to having to take observations from outside sensitive or inaccessible habitat. Using the map pan method may not be accurate enough for them due to lack of hi detail base map information, but they do know how to accurately gauge the angles and distances.
