Scott- Thanks for sharing your workflows; very helpful in understanding the challenges you're trying to solve. Currently Collector doesn't support a method to download the same map multiple times.  However, there are a couple methods you can take now to achieve what you're ultimately looking for. 1. Create and sideload a large TPK for the basemap that covers all the areas where you'll be performing data collection. When taking the map offline, use the TPK and take off the unioned extent of the operational layers.  This will ultimately give you full coverage of the areas, but will result in existing data in areas outside the data collection being downloaded.  If you are just collecting data, you can use some of the new offline options to minimize this though.  For more info see this doc: Prepare maps for offline use—Collector for ArcGIS | ArcGIS​ 2. As suggested in an earlier post, create a set of 5 different maps and download each individually. -Doug ... View more

Hi Dan- Here are some answers to your questions: Yes, you will be able to store the elevation value if you wish, though not a requirement. We will support the ability to specify the antenna height, which will be included in the elevation value. Selecting an appropriate coordinate system and datum transformation is supported. Yes, much like altitude we will support storing additional position information as attributes. The beta will be available on all three supported platforms (Android, iOS, Windows). On all three platforms there should be no limitations beyond the receivers capabilities in terms of accuracy. Hope this helps and look forward to your participation and feedback in the beta. -Doug ... View more
