Is it possible to toggle a basemap on and off in the Field Maps app? My thought is that turning off the basemap would reduce battery consumption on the collection device.

Hi,
No, this is not possible. I also don't think the basemap impacts battery consumption much.
In my experience these things will use the battery fastest:
What you can do to reduce these is:
A chatty location services application with the screen on is a big battery drainer. The above will help mitigate it, but realistically you'll want to be on a newer device with a good/fresh battery, apply general battery optimization practices, and probably keep a spare battery or vehicle charger at hand.

Thank you for the information! All things I'll have to implement internally and share with our partners. We do a lot of data collection on iPads that are aging. It probably wouldn't hurt to upgrade those devices.
