@KaraUtter, On the Field Maps team we have been prototyping and testing the Android version of Field Maps running on the earliest versions of the Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. The results have been very promising and our long term goal to to make the Field Maps available through the Amazon App Store so it could be deployed directly on Windows 11 devices. It's a little too early to speculate when this will be available, but recently versions of Windows11 which support the Windows Subsystem for Android, are generally available outside of the insider program, we are in a pretty good spot. There will definitely be some more announcements on this topic later in the year. -Brent

Hi @TobiasFimpel1 , Good questions. Field Maps does not require any of the different indoors license levels at all. What Field Maps requires is for the floor information to be in the webmap's JSON. The best tools to configure the floor properties of a webmap are in ArcGIS Pro and those tools do require a user with the Indoors Pro User Type Extension. @Will_Isley on the indoors team should be able to provide more information here. Hope this helps, -Brent

xpost from a similar thread on the early adopter site as some might not have seen this reply Hi Levi, Really what's changed is how indoors/floor aware information is stored in a webmap. We wanted to make this less fragile from an implementation perspective and also wanted to offer a level of flexibility to work with other data models. In short, you will need to configure/alter the older webmaps through Pro to declare specific aspects to the data model. This is a good short read which explains the tools and workflow: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/indoors/configure-floor-aware-maps.htm. More specifically, you can open your existing webmaps in Pro and update the map properties to declare which feature classes contain "Facility", "Site" and "Floor" information and for each floor aware feature layer in the map, you just have to adjust the layer properties to declare which field is acting as the floor identifier, explained here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/indoors/configure-floor-aware-layers.htm This makes Field Maps and ArcGIS much more flexible because now we can work with any feature class or feature service as long as the appropriate fields are present. Same holds for the floor ID fields. You will need an Indoors Pro extension in order to be able to use these tools. The bonus is this extension also opens up the floor picker in Pro as well as a number of other tools which will help you maintain your indoors/facility data moving forward. We can certainly work with you and your account manager to get a trial extension setup to make sure this meets your needs. Hope this helps, -Brent

@PeterKT Good questions, Explorer Windows is not being retired at the end of 2021, it will continue to live on and remain supported as there is not replacement in the form of Field Maps on the WIndows platform.

Hi @bobwright , Explorer will continue to work after December 31st 2021, however the listing will be removed from the app stores as well as it will no longer will be officially supported. I definitely encourage you to start to move your field operations over to the Field Maps app as that is where our engineering effort is being focused now. It has all the capabilities of ArcGIS Explorer as well as the capabilities available in the Collector and Tracker applications. Here is a migration guide we wrote to help with this transition: https://www.esri.com/content/dam/esrisites/en-us/media/pdf/implementation-guides/field-maps-migration-guide.pdf Hope this helps, -Brent

Hi David, Unfortunately the answer to your questions is "kind of" 🙂 ... let me explain. Technically GNSS receivers are supported in ArcGIS Explorer on iOS and Android so if you just want improved location coming from the receiver this is supported. What is not supported is the ability to configure a location profile to enhance the information that is coming in from the GNSS receiver (Like you can in ArcGIS Collector). There are two common reasons you might want to configure a location profile when using receivers of this type. You want sub meter accuracy You want to use an Esri Basemap and therefore need to adjust/transform the location information coming in from the GNSS receiver Good news is with the new ArcGIS Field Maps application (just went into beta last week) you get all the functionality of ArcGIS Explorer as well as the ability to configure a location profile. If you're interested in joining the beta please follow this link to sigh up: ArcGIS Field Maps Hope this helps, -Brent

Hi Will, This was a release to update the name of the Explorer for ArcGIS app to ArcGIS Explorer. We are doing this for all our field apps moving to a simpler product naming scheme. Only significant functional change was made on the Android version of ArcGIS Explorer which added support for PKI which the Windows and iOS versions of the ArcGIS Explorer app already had. hope this helps, -Brent

Mervyn, With the 20.1 release of Explorer Android we were forced to move the location MMPK and Basemaps are sideloaded on the device. Here is a blog post about what you need to do to adapt to these changes: https://community.esri.com/groups/explorer-for-arcgis/blog/2020/03/05/migrating-sideloaded-mmpks-from-explorer-android-1810-to-2010 -Brent

If you just want to work with maps without editing those layers I would recommend using Explorer. Explorer is a read only application available on iOS, Android and Windows and lets you use any map independent of the edibility of the layers in that map. What platform are you using currently? -Brent
