However, you can use <A href="https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/collector-for-arcgis/overview">Collector for ArcGIS</A> on a mobile device, connected to a GPS device, that will enable you to collect features with the GPS location. And technically, Collector would be using a web map from ArcGIS Online.</P><UL><LI><A href="http://bit.ly/2QiySw4">Collector for ArcGIS: Capture High-Accuracy Data</A> - 3 min video</LI><LI><A class="link-titled" href="https://doc.arcgis.com/en/collector/ipad/help/high-accuracy-prep.htm" title="https://doc.arcgis.com/en/collector/ipad/help/high-accuracy-prep.htm">Prepare for high-accuracy data collection—Collector for ArcGIS | ArcGIS</A>&nbsp;</LI></UL><P></P><P>Hope this helps,</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 25 Jul 2019 05:33:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/using-external-gps-unit-with-arcgis-online/m-p/704543#M34973 DerekLaw 2019-07-25T05:33:56Z
