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.

Also agree. Our foresters often work on projects spanning multiple tracts, being able to navigate between them in the truck would be great.

This would be incredibly helpful for our organization as well. Our appraisal department would like to be able to view parcels and our field maps data while driving. As Benjamin mentioned, ONX has this capability, and it works very well so ESRI should be able to accomplish it fairly easily.

I would love this in my vehicle on our game reserve where the roads are not mapped by Google

I would like to see some traction on this topic.  It looks like it has been talked about for almost 7 years now and would think that there would be some sort of plan in place.

Having this in our organization would be extremely beneficial both for operations and from a health and safety stand point.  We would also understand if licensing changed for the Field Worker licensing to support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

We use Field Maps extensively for our Operators to record data when irrigators are turning their irrigation systems on and off.  They also use it to record data from specific areas when they are onsite.

Having this enabled in AppleCar Play in their vehicle, even if limited functionality when moving, would allow them to stop at their location and toggle systems on and off which triggers calculations on the backend.  

 

I welcome the opportunity to discuss this further and would be willing to put a formal business case together if that would help get traction on this feature.

I'd love to hear someone from the FieldMaps SDK Team here. This is important, our people are ditching Field maps and using OnX because of that!!!!

@RamaChintapalli ? Anyone from the SDK group? 

 

A month later I only hear crickets from esri!

On behalf of myself and all the employees of CFP- forestry department, we would like to express our desire to have access to Field Maps on Apple CarPlay.
 
We're working on logging roads daily, and it's dangerous to navigate with tablets and phones. We love the features of this app but being given restricted access while driving is disappointing. We've been loyal customers for several years, recommending your apps, so it would be nice to make our voices heard... 
 
 Thank you for your consideration!
