The idea of having a Bookmark option just like in ArcGIS Pro is really appreciated. However, there is no way for our field geologist to create their own bookmarks for an area of interests in the field. Unfortunately, theses bookmarks has to be created in advance in the app creation. The user must be able to create their own bookmarks when planning the field work as this always tend to change when in the field.

Furthermore, it would also be a highly appreciated if the user was able to share their bookmarks in the field among colleagues, as this would definitely make it easier to coordinate dedicated field work locations.

Supported, we definitely also need this function for field colleagues.

Agreed. This would also be useful for my users. They immediately see Bookmarks as something that  operates like "Favourites" and would prefer that.

Collector had "my place" function that acted as a bookmark. It seems to have disappeared with field maps. We definitely need bookmark or address search  function for field workers to locate the area of interest they are using to make an offline area.

Creating bookmarks in the app is especially important because it makes downloading offline maps on the device much easier. As far as I know, there is no way to search by address or lat/long during the offline map creation process in Field Maps. In Collector, you could create a "my place" in the map and use that to locate the site.

With that ability gone in Field Maps, you have to manually pan and zoom. Sometimes our field staff want to create offline areas in Field Maps while they're still in the office.
