Has anyone "cracked the code" on how to get the orthometric height attribute exported from a point feature collected in Field Maps? I have read articles high and low on this subject but cannot figure out a successful way to get this to work. I have seen some post and articles but the solutions are pages long. This should be an easy out of the box solution/option. I am using an external GPS receiver and would like to record Z-values in NAVD1988(ft). I see it records Altitude as ellipsoidal height, but I do not want that, nor can I think of why anyone recording Z-value would want that over orthometric height. Additionally, I cannot get Field Maps to take a coordinate system other than WGS84, which I think would help me in recording orthometric height. I can create another one in my profile within Field Maps, but in order to use the the esri "canned basemaps that you must have your project set-up to WGS84. I have attempted to create my own simple basemap in my desired projection and bring that into Field Maps, but have had no luck, FieldMaps still says the map and profile coordinate system do not match. Basemaps in ArcMap can be projected on the fly, why not in Field Maps? For a new field collection app, Field Maps seems like it is not ready for "Prime Time". I have other issues I could list, but I have found work arounds for those. I would really like to use esri for a field collection app, but may need to go to another companies app. From a user who has been using Trimble TerraSync, Field Maps does not have near the functionality of TerraSync. Granted TerraSync is now a software dinosaur, but has great functions and options for collection.
