I can't speak for iOS, but the new beta version of Explorer is available in the Android Play Store now, and allows for navigating with both Google Maps and ArcGIS Navigator. Tested both and it worked smooth.

We are seeing the USA Topo Maps issue as well, in multiple surveys from users across our department. A lot of our surveys for the general public are intended to be completed via web browser, and it's a bit frustrating since it seems to be something introduced in one of the more recent Survey123 updates, as some of our older surveys are working fine and still show ESRI Streets or Topographic. If it was always defaulting to ESRI Streets, Imagery, OpenStreetMap, Topographic, etc. it wouldn't be as big of a deal, but the USA Topo Basemap is blurry, outdated, and not very useful to general public users. I have one survey published with 3.6 that shows ESRI Streets by default in the web browser, while the other ones published with 3.6 are defaulting to the USA Topo. I'm trying to narrow down what the difference is between them, but it looks like it might be caused by trying to set a different default basemap within Connect, instead of just using the default default. Otherwise, the one defaulting to Streets was originally published with an older version (3.4 or 3.5, maybe) and then republished later with some edits using Connect 3.6. I'm wondering if there's some underlying setting or code still leftover from getting created in those earlier versions, but I'm not sure what (if not everything) gets overwritten when republishing an existing survey from Connect. Seems related to this bug which is currently in the product plan, so hopefully it gets resolved soon. At the very least, please have it default to World Topographic or something, if we can't specify a basemap in particular lol.

Our organization is large and has employee turnover, and often we need to transfer ArcGIS Online content from an employee who has left to somebody else. Also, with Enterprise accounts, we sometimes need to create a new account for someone due to email changes, and transfer over their existing content. When a web map is enabled for Collector and has Offline Map Areas created for it, admins are not able to transfer ownership of that web map (per ESRI documentation). They are also not able to view or manage those Offline Map Areas—including being able to delete them. The only workaround we have found so far is to create a copy of the map and transfer ownership of that, but then the Offline Map Areas are lost, and the admin is not even able to recreate them for the new owner (though in many cases we wouldn't be able to regardless, since we are unable to see what those map areas even were to begin with). Allowing admins to transfer web maps with Offline Map Areas would be ideal, but if that is impossible due to technical limitations, please consider allowing admins to at least manage the map areas of web maps they do not own (view/create/delete).

Ok, appreciate the update. Thanks.

Hey Mark, was wondering if you had an update on popup support for Explorer on Android/iOS?

We have field crews using Collector/Explorer who would like to be able to dynamically filter down large datasets through the apps based on their work area for the day, rather than having to go into the web map thru the basic map viewer beforehand each time. For example, say they're doing facility inspections though Collector or an Explorer/Survey123 combo, and decide that they'd check all facilities within zip code "X" one day, and then zip code "Y" the next. Filtering them down so they can easily see where to go next and and avoid duplicating work with another crew working an adjacent zip code, would be very helpful.

Ever find a solution for this, Jeff? I need similar functionality in a workflow of ours; different teams using Explorer/Collector who want to filter down their points for their assigned areas. -Aaron

Just wanted to update -- with version 3.6 I'm not having any of the previous issues on the Galaxy S9+. I was able to collect a few dozen points over the course of an hour yesterday without a single crash, even though I was multi-tasking and jumping into other applications at the same time. Thanks for continuing to push new updates. -Aaron

As usual, seconds after posting a question -- I get it to work. However I used shutil.make_archive instead of the above ZipFile method. shutil.make_archive(zipfilename, 'zip', fgdb)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ zipfilename = filename of your new zip, plus the path ("D:/MyFolder/ExampleFolder/thenameofmynewzip"), leave off the .zip file extension fgdb = the file geodatabase you want to zip ("D:/MyFolder/ExampleFolder/MyFGDB.gdb") EDIT: Actually, while the above code technically works, it won't be a good solution if you're trying to zip up the fgdb for uploading to ArcGIS Online. Instead, have fgdb point to the folder that contains the MyFGDB.gdb file, rather than the .gdb file itself. Otherwise you'll get an error when uploading to AGO. You'll also want separate the the new zipfile and the fgdb into their own folders, or add code to grab the fgdb specifically (similar to what the original post is doing). If not, you'll get an empty zip within your zip since it creates the new zip file first before adding in your .gdb, looks like. I'm sure someone else has a more elegant solution to this bit.

This is one of the only examples I can find of zipping up a .gdb with python, however when I try to use this method,(accounting for the typo in the last line) my new zip file contains the entire folder structure leading up to the .gdb. Anyone have an idea of how to just zip up the .gdb file?

Any updates on this? Feature still seems to be absent in Android as of Oct 2019. -Aaron

Hey Kylie, any update on getting directions through Google Maps, etc for Explorer (Android)? -Aaron

I've had this replica error now come up in a Collector map/project that was working fine for over a year. There was a pair of feature classes in one service, with both those feature classes added as layers to a web map for Collector consumption, but initially only one of the layer had editing enabled. This layer also had editor tracking. At some point editing for the other layer was enabled in the web map, but editor tracking wasn't turned on for it in the database. Enabling editor tracking for the second feature class and republishing the service seems has resolved the issue. It appears that a number of things will trigger that replica error when trying to go offline.
