Field Maps not honoring symbology on Location Sharing layer

AshleyPeters · ‎03-01-2023

We have recently started using Location Sharing (formerly Tracker). In the map viewer on AGOL, each user's initials show on the symbol for last known location. This holds true on Track Viewer as well. However, in Field Maps (app version 23.1.0 build 984), each user shows the default 'AF' in the last known location symbology. This is occurring on iPhones, not sure about Androids. Anyone else encountered this? Is this a bug?

Hello Ashley,

Unfortunately this is a known issues in Field Maps on both iOS and Android and the Maps SDKs (formerly Runtime). The symbol type used by default when the Tracks layers are added to a map in Map Viewer is not supported correctly at this time.

Changing the symbol and using labeling would be one option to accomplish something similar now.

Thanks Justin! I've got labeling turned on, so it works around the issue. I had assumed it was a known issue, just couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. Thanks again!
