Dual Collection - Stream Single Line and Change SubType

[GISSupport3]

We use helicopters to map the edge of bush fires.

We would like to be able to fly / stream a single line with the operator changing the line subtype; ie active edge, contained edge, backburn etc.

At the moment the operator needs to save the current line, change line type, and continue mapping.

The time taken to save and switch line types currently makes the use of Collector virtually impracticable.

Thanks

Hello NSWRFS‌,

Thank you for submitting this idea! To clarify a bit, are you asking for the ability to continue streaming the collection of a line (helicopter's flight path) while ending the "active edge" or other subtype collection, and switching to another? I'd like to understand what workflow or resulting data would improve the use of Collector for this project.

Thanks,

Scott

G'day Scott Prindle‌

The helicopter follows the fire edge and the operator has a GPS linked to a mapping app.

The 'type' of the fire edge changes as they follow the boundary.

It takes too long to save and change the edge type.

A picture may help, please see attached.

There are other issues related to Collector use in a helicopter (or anything moving faster than walking) and I think other ideas have them covered.

Thanks
