I'd like to see the option to enable or disable auto-collect on Field Maps. There's times when the auto-collect is useful and others when it's a bit of a hassle when collecting features that have to be manually placed. For example, when collecting features that are spread apart in a large and open area, auto-collect is great. Often, I have to collect features next to and/or in between buildings where the GPS signal accuracy decreases and I have to manually place points that are in a row along a building. Every time I select the "+" and choose the feature to collect (I use averaging) the map will immediately start auto-collecting/averaging and since the GPS signal is lost in-between buildings, the map kind of shifts around to the last known GPS location. I then have to scroll through the map to find where I manually placed the point, then repeat this process again for each feature in that row (that sometimes can be up to 20+ features). By adding a enable/disable auto-collect option, we'd get the freedom of choosing when the collection begins. Thanks.
You can configure how collect behaves when collecting new features. See this topic for more information on how to configure your map.
