Polyline streaming in Field Maps not working

Good morning all. 

This weekend I attempted to use Field Maps, paired with my phone and Bad Elf receiver, to collect data at an OS preserve that I’m working on:

  • Points- worked as expected.
  • Polygons- worked as expected.
  • Polylines- Has a major issue:
    • I was attempting to collect trails
      • ESRI’s online instructions state that you turn on “Streaming”, walk and collect your trail, then “Stop Streaming” and “Submit”.              
        • When I did this, I got an error message stating that I needed two or more points to collect a point.
      • I then selected a point, turned on streaming, walked the trail, selected another point, then ended streaming.
        • The result was a straight line with a point at either end, not a trail with the expected numerous vertices.

The streaming option was definitely turned on in  Field Maps, when I created the datasets.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Kevin Burkman

You might check - in your profile Collection Settings in Field Maps check your Streaming setting - that allows you to set how often to collect a new point while streaming.
