It is crucial to make Field Maps app available on Carplay and Android Auto in-dash vehicle display 

Apps like OnX and many others are available for car and truck's consoles but field maps isn't yet. A company the size and importance of Esri can definitely work with Apple and Google to make that available as soon as possible. Extremely important for field crews.

Bonjour
La navigation avec Field Maps est intéressante et le fait que l'application Field Maps soit disponible sur l'ordinateur de bord du véhicule faciliterait les actes de suivi (dans notre cas de canalisation). 
Aussi l'accès à Field Maps à partir d'AndroidCar ou CarPlay serait apprécié.

The single year I spent learning French when I was 13 is unsurprisingly inadequate so here is a translation from google:

Hello
Navigation with Field Maps is interesting and the fact that the Field Maps application is available on the vehicle's on-board computer would facilitate follow-up actions (in our case of channelling).
Also access to Field Maps from AndroidCar or CarPlay would be appreciated.

I work in Forestry and I'm sure our civil engineers would love the option to use the vehicles display unit to stop and record defects on forest roads.

Agreed. Being able to use the vehicles in-built nav system would be handy for navigation and also feature collection (though maybe this is better suited to Quick Capture but full Field Maps control through the dash would be best).

It also means not having to break the law to use your mobile device while driving (at least in Australia).

Si hace mucha falta en CarPlay.......

Interesting idea - I don't believe ESRI has plans to support navigation in Field Maps, instead kicking you over to the default system app for that purpose.  However I could definitely see some use cases where it would be super handy to be able to quickly collect a point with some pre-configured options via the in-dash display.  Things like pavement management and debris surveys come to mind.

Yeah, our foresters are asking to be able to navigate to their tracts ands stands using Field Maps on their car dashes. It would be super useful.

While the navigation piece would be great I would be happy having Field Maps on Carplay just to see where I am in relationship to a bunch of survey points on my map has I travel around our ownership.

This is essential. Viewing field data from the vehicle is pertinent to being able to spatially understand different ownerships and areas that have data from the past or that others have collected. From a Stumpage buyer's perspective this is essential when data is parceled, statewide, and group memebers are constantly driving by it.

onX Offroad already has this capability.

Agreed. Large potential for field crews on long linear projects.

It would be very interesting to be able to use Field Maps for navigation on car screens via Android Auto or Apple Car Play. In Brazil, we have large farms and Field Maps helps us a lot, enabling navigation on the car screen would be fantastic.
