Sean, We are looking into this thanks for reporting. Can you share some info about the GPS device youa re using and the windows build and version you are running on your machine? THanks, -Brent ... View more

Hi Aaron, We are working on this right now and it will be available in Explorer Android 19.1 which should be in beta in a month. Would you be interested in participating in the beta? If so please email explorer4arcgis@esri.com and we will get you information on how to join. Hope this helps, -Brent ... View more

Kenny, What platform(s) are you interested in? We should have the iOS and Android betas out in a month or so. I can be sure to include you on the list if you're interested. Email explorer4arcgis@esri.com if you're interested. Thanks, - Brent ... View more

Tyler, Explorer is doing nothing with your contacts. Unfortunately at the release of Android we shipped this version of Explorer on contacts permission was inadvertently requested along side other privileges we might need like access to the file system to download maps as well as access to the GPS to show your location on a map.  Android has improved their permissions management infrastructure quite a bit since we last shipped Explorer and at the 19.1 release of Explorer we will not be requesting this as Explorer does absolutely nothing with contacts. We will be in Beta of Explore Android 19.1.0  later this fall with a final release early in 2020. ...

Jake, That's correct we are certifying right now so unless something comes up in that process we should go final sometime next week.  -Brent ... View more

Nathan, Have you tried using these routes in Navigator Beta on iOS and Android. Also, we should be final next week if you wanted to wait. -Brent ... View more

Patrick,  Please just email explorer4arcgis@esri.com stating you want to be on the beta and we will get you involved as soon as we have something to test. Thanks for your interest. -Brent ... View more

It is coming later this fall. What platform are you using Kenny? Would you be interested in testing this out in beta when available? ... View more

Ian,   I sincerely apologize for the pain here - I understand your frustration.  Mark has some good suggestions to try, but I think best course of action is to get a support incident started.  I have already reached out to support to get this going.  If you have already started down this path, please let us know the support incident number you have. Questions I'd like to follow up (either here or as part of the support conversation)    Does the source feature have True Curves in the geometry? Given the back and forth that I've read above - that the source data looks fine, but when packaged into an MMPK you get jagged lines when viewed either Pro or Explorer - i wonder if your data contains true curves in the geometry that could be lost during the MMPK publishing process?  Hope to get this resolved soon for you, -Brent ...

Kal, Have you tried the tracker solution?  https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/tracker/announcements/tracker-for-arcgis-v19-1-0-released/ We explicitly built this app to track your location efficiently. With respect to following a GPX track I would be very interested in the underlying problem your are trying to solve here. Seems like a really interesting use case can you provide more information. The next release of Explorer will provide what we call Compass Mode which is a way to use your device to find a specific feature when you are in the field. This is often used to get "as the crow flies" type directions to a feature in your GIS when you are near it in the field. Hope this helps, -Brent ... View more

Here is an example of what the URL scheme might look like here: https://navigator.arcgis.app/?routeItemID=6865ca0c6c764ba6bf33ef9839cf5953 ... View more

Great to hear. The difference between route layers and stop lists is a little subtle but pretty important.  Stop lists are literally just a listing of stops and Navigator uses this to create the route on the device. Routes are pre generated on the platform and include waypoints which are used to define the route geometry. The nice thing about waypoints is that we don't narrate arrival at those points along the network in Navigator. Route can also include barriers which is a pretty interesting feature if you have those.   ... View more

HI Chandler, There is a switch to turn off the voice orations if you slide the panel up when you are Navigating. With respect to solving your workflow in a different way, in the Navigator beta we support the concept of Routes: https://community.esri.com/groups/navigator-for-arcgis-beta/blog/2018/09/28/routes-in-navigator  You can use waypoints instead of stops for each meter when creating a route. This would define the geometry of the route but would not affect the announcements the drivers hear while following the route. Simply put, it would still help the driver drive by the meter and hear important announcements like where and when to turn but the orations would not get cluttered up with announcements for every stop (meters in your case). Here is a link to the beta site you can join here: https://community.esri.com/groups/navigator-for-arcgis-beta?et=invite.join.sgroup.unmodifiable Hope this helps, -Brent  ... View more

Rudy, Are you asking how you could simulate what navigation would be like if you were driving for a demo or a test? Thanks, -Brent ... View more
