Tracking

Currently Field Maps only does tracking through a complex process useful for managing huge teams and you have to pay for the service.

Most users dont need that level of complexity.

What we need is just a ways to lay a track on the route taken on the device itself and to, at most, be able to export the track as a SHP or similar

@JonathanRatner1 Thanks for posting. On one hand, I tend to agree that most users don't need high levels of complexity, I have also observed teams that require high levels of complexity.

There is a great article by Clavine Anavilla on linkedin.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝟐𝟎 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

When most people think about infrastructure, they think about what they can see. A highway cutting across a landscape. A new railway line. A water treatment plant supplying a growing city. Transmission lines stretching across rural communities. What they rarely think about is what happens before the first shovel enters the ground. Yet this is where the story of infrastructure success or failure often begins.

For years, discussions around Africa's infrastructure deficit have focused on one recurring theme: a lack of financing. Governments need more money. Development banks need to lend more. Private investors need to invest more. But Kenya's experience tells a slightly different story.

This realization sits at the heart of the G20's Roadmap to Infrastructure as an Asset Class, a framework developed to answer a deceptively simple question:

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞?

The answer is not a single policy, financing instrument, or institution. It is an ecosystem. Kenya offers one of the most interesting case studies for understanding how that ecosystem is built.

This article is focused on Project Development, and so its about teams, but also about 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 which can bring us to the wide range from an individual to teams.

This gets me to the point, I'm hoping to make - work arounds. I'm hoping your post encourages others who may be able to present solutions for you. Keep it up.

for those who need the high capability/high complexity, ESRI already has a solution.

The suggestion above is for everyone else
