Navigational tools

Any suggestions for if we have any navigational tools in any of our Esri Apps? I use Terrasync and another great tool by http://www.cybertracker.org .. what I'd like to explore is an option to select a feature and have the directional tool point the direction to the feature. Thanks!!

Hi Warren - Navigator for ArcGIS has just been released in the last few months. Its an application which works side-by-side with Collector for ArcGIS and enables you to route to a feature from your map. You can take a look here: Navigator for ArcGIS

Or are you after something which will return you a bearing to a feature from your current position?

Cheers - Sam

Thanks Sam! actually looking on routing direct line rather restricting to a street ... for example, point me in the direction to the previously collected feature 'ant nest.' The Navigator I suspect would restrict you to a route. Thanks for info .. I can use that too in future!!
