I would like to use Field Maps for data collection in the field for an upcoming wildlife telemetry (radio-tracking) field season.
While tracking manually with a radio receiver and an antenna, when I determine the direction of the strongest signal from a specific point for a given animal I collect the waypoint of my current location and use a compass to record the bearing of that direction. Then I draw a line using this location and bearing (at an arbitrary distance, usually 15 miles) in Avenza Maps. If I do this from several locations I can attempt to triangulate the animal and follow up for a finer scale search in the resulting polygon or intersection of bearings.
I am seeking a method superior to Avenza in the ability to collect data digitally, share these lines with my team, as well as download them easily to my desktop ArcPro project.
I cannot currently figure out how to do this in Field Maps and have been told this is not a current function.
If I manually import my locations and bearings in ArcPro I can use the 'Coordinate table to line of bearing' function. But I am looking for a quicker, more efficient way to do this in the field.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
