Drawing a line from a single point and a bearing in Field Maps?

[DylanRhea-Fournier]

Greetings community-

In preparation for a radio-telemetry project I would like to explore the potential of using Field Maps to collect spatial data. For manual telemetry (radio-tracking) I determine the direction of the strongest signal for a given tagged animal and collect a bearing for that direction. In the past I have then used Avenza maps to draw a line from my current position in the direction of the bearing I collected. Ideally I will then repeat this process from 3 different locations to triangulate the animal and attempt traveling to the area where the lines cross (or more likely the resulting polygon that is created). This part is easy in Avenza, however exporting and preserving the data is not. 

Field Maps seems like a better option to preserve this data and transfer it to my ArcGIS Pro project, however figuring out how to draw a line from a single point and bearing seems less intuitive.

Furthermore if my crew can access internet during their field day my idea is that we would be able to share these bearing lines with each other to assist and expedite the triangulation efforts for multiple animals at the same time.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Try looking into Bearing Distance To Line (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

You may have to export your points, run the tool, then append your line features to a hosted feature class each time though. Or maybe make a model builder tool to do all of that.

Thanks!
I am familiar with the Bearing to Distance Line tool in ArcPro.
I want to do this in Field Maps. Is that possible?

That specific geoprocessing tool is not available in ArcGIS Online, which is why I suggested that you'd have to append the created line features from Pro to a hosted feature service that you can put in your Field Map.

Hi @DylanRhea-Fournier we do not currently support drawing lines from a single point and bearing in ArcGIS Field Maps. We would love to hear more about your workflow, I would recommend sharing on our ideas page. Thank you.

Using dynamic symbology and calculated expressions, should I not be able to create a line from my location and an entered bearing (by projecting an end point)?
Is there an expert in Arcade language that could assist with this?
