Site Scan Flight quickmap

Hi - I got a question about the Quickmap option in Site Scan Flight from a forestry client - who expect they will "often" be in areas with no cellphone coverage and possibly without offline map areas prepared upfront.. They are looking at the quickmap option. From the help doc in ArcGIS Online

Currently I am without and iPad and can't test, and client is struggling. Anyone have a link to a video or demonstration of this feature/functionality?

Thanks 🙂

Hello!

I've screen-captured doing a QuickMap with some data I've collected before on my iPad:

For QuickMap to work properly, all images must be taken nadir (pointed straight down). QuickMap also works best for flights that are relatively high. Usually between 100 and 120 meters above ground.

Once the QuickMap has been created, it can be toggled on when planning a flight by going into the "Overlays" tab and selecting "QuickMap". I've shown this in the video too.
