Apple Pencil compatibility with the Collector App......
Good Evening ESRI Community I am in the process of mapping my woodland. I have decided to investigate using an Apple Pencil (1st Generation) so that it is quicker drawing curves on a base map.

Will adding a field to a service break Field Maps offline areas?
If I add a field to an existing service that is used in field maps and has offline areas taken offline by staff, will this prevent staff from syncing their existing offline areas back?

ArcGIS Collector / coordinate system question
Hi, I collected some points using the Collector app, using an RTK correction system to provide cm level accuracy. The point layer I was using for was in NAD 83 CSRS UTM Zone 20N.

ArcGIS Collector: Click a feature to see pop-up and then the map moves you to central Africa
I have a basic web map in ArcGIS Collector where the user can see our facilities, click on them for a pop-up of key attributes, etc. Half of the time, when I click on a feature, the map pans to the forests of central Africa. I can hit the button to refocus on my current location, but I lose track of the feature that I…

Position/Direction icon for Field Maps
Would it be possible to have a position/direction icon displayed on devices in the field in the same way that Google Maps and Apple Maps have the blue/white circle but with a field of view that moves when you rotate? A lot of the work that I have been performing lately is navigating to old drill holes to take photos of…

Help with simplifying a large data file?
Might be a pretty simple question but I'm not super experienced with this. I have a raster displaying land cover in a city, and I reclassified to just display vegetated vs non vegetated land, but it is so incredibly detailed that the file is basically unusable and anything I try to do with it does not load because of its…

Is your company adopting it? How it all going, are users lining up to use it? Would be interested to see anyone using anything else for field…

Anyone using the Collector App?
The past couple of weeks my City has been focusing on ArcGIS online and thus far, I've really been enjoying creating dynamic maps to share versus the static PDF's I've been creating for the past decade.

Seeking some advice on ArcGIS Collector Alternatives
I've used Collector before (paired with Trimble R1) to take points in the field. I was hoping to come up with a similar but more cost effective solution perhaps using something like a BadElf Surveyor, however I'm coming up short on the software side of things. Ideally connecting to android devices. Are there any cheaper…
