Hi!

I created a simple data collection map using ArcGIS Field Maps Designer. Then, I went to Vasaparken in Västerås to collect information about the benches located around the park. When I began collecting data and taking photos, everything worked at first, but I had to stop and restart the Field Maps app for each location. It displayed the following message: Has anyone experienced this problem?

The offline photo capture and feature addition worked successfully.

I noticed this today too. I created a map on AGOL, then set the collection settings (accuracy, averaging, etc.) of the main profile settings of Field Maps. I had no issues. I later made some edits of that same map in Field Maps Designer and now it has two collection settings, a "default map" and a feature later collection setting. So when collecting, I now have to disable the 'default map' setting through the feature layer, to enable the collection setting of the main profile settings of field maps. Today, I did all these steps and found that the averaging was not working, so I had to adjust/increase the accuracy setting a bit to be able to average. The accuracy we set is 10cm for our 10cm units, never had issues setting it to 10cm until today, so I set it to 20cm. Something in Field Maps Designer is causing this I think.

Hi!

Have you tried setting the GPS to 30-point averaging? The issue actually occurs when the GPS fails to read. I created it using ArcGIS Field Maps Designer and haven’t tried creating it in ArcGIS Pro yet. Using ArcGIS Pro usually takes a bit more time.

Yes, this is how I've had to set it up now. I wish there was an option to disable this Designer collection setting so we don't have to jump around the collection settings in Field Maps. I see the use of this collection setting in Designer, if you're managing a department and want all collection to be consistent, but we are only 2 employees in our dept and have different workflows. Some require only 5 points of averaging, some 10-20 and it was easier to adjust before through the Profile collection settings, than having to adjust it through the Designer.
