ArcGIS Earth for mobile version 1.3 is now available in Google Play and App Store. In this update, we brought in several exciting new features and made multiple enhancements including:
New features
GPS tracks
ArcGIS Earth for mobile now provides you with a simple and accurate way to record real-time position and save the route as you move. You can share the tracks as kmz files or upload them to your organization’s portal. In recording the tracks, you get information about total distance, the time elapsed and speed and review the summary in a finished track. Basemap can be turned on and off for visual reference.
Provide navigation options for routing to a place
ArcGIS Earth mobile now supports getting directions using navigation apps installed on your mobile device. With the reference of a wide collection of high-resolution basemaps, you can easily pinpoint the location of your destination or a geosearched result into a placemark. By tapping the "Navigation" icon on an identified placemark card, you are given options to launch a navigation app for routing. In this release we support the following apps: ArcGIS Navigator, Apple Map, AutoNavi AMap, Baidu Maps and Google Maps.
Connect to portal by scanning QR code
You now have the option to scan a QR code of the portal URL to make a quick connection.
Turn on & off terrain
A terrain switch is added to the Basemap Gallery. When loading data from a Web Scene or a Mobile Scene Package, you can manually toggle off the terrain, which facilitates targeted data processing as needed.
Full screenshot
Using the native scene capture tool, you are now able to take snapshots in full screen for presenting and sharing of the data.
