The application Trek2There is a great concept app that will potentially be very useful. Currently it is being held back by it being a separate application and the half baked integration is not working on android and possibly iOS.
I feel a better solution to take advantage of Trek2There, would be to add it as a function of the collector app.
This is how I would think it would work:
you select a feature that you have collected and select "trek" from a popup which would then trigger the navigation compass to open, all within collector
It is possible to access Trek2There from Collector. Do this by creating a feature that can Record GPS metadata; the fields you will specifically need are: ESRIGNSS_LATITUDE and ESRIGNSS_LONGITUDE. When you create the map, create a pop-up that uses a "Custom Attribute Display". This option allows you to create a link that will open Trek2There on your device with your destination set. The URL will be:
arcgis-trek2there:///?stop={ESRIGNSS_LATITUDE},{ESRIGNSS_LONGITUDE}
I agree. This functionality should be a part of Collector rather than being a separate app.

Would have preferred numeric bearing instead of cardinal/inter-cardinal directions and options for picking distance units, but a very good improvement otherwise!
Lance, for our business, having the bearing is critical! Thanks for bringing this up.
Hi Zachary,
I'm glad you agree! How about a "vote up" on my Idea: https://community.esri.com/ideas/16282-change-compass-direction-format-and-distance-units
To my knowledge, as of 29Oct19, an update for this has not been implemented.
Thanks!
