Since more modern cars are coming with CarPlay and Android Auto support, I think it would be great to be able to get CarPlay/Android Auto integrations for the runtime apps. At a minimum, I would think Navigator and Tracker would be prime candidates for this. I'm actually surprised that Navigator doesn't already have this feature. I could see Workforce benefiting from it as well. Collector would be great too, but I can see all kinds of problems with that in terms of "distracted driver" issues. Even so, I could see it being very useful for digitizing service roads or new streets, off road trails and such. Just set collector to some sort of 'stream collection' mode, tell it your speed and drive the route at that speed. If even a halfway solution could be figured out, a CarPlay/Android Auto solution would be a lot better than what is probably already happening in scenarios where someone is driving and using one of these apps at the same time.

There you have it from da man himself, folks. I didn't realize Tracker was licensed at the Viewer level. That's pretty great as that means it costs nothing to use. Jeff Shaner you mentioned a concern about credit burn when using hosted feature services as the storage mechanism for tracks being a primary decision behind using the Big Data Store and that there is an effort underway to build a more efficient solution for ArcGIS Online. Any thoughts you can share about how much credit burn one might see in ArcGIS Online with the new forthcoming solution. I guess I'm asking, approximately how much might it cost to store, say, 10,000 tracks. [UPDATE 7/16/19: Tracker for ArcGIS is not and cannot be licensed at the Viewer Level. It is licensed with a User Type that includes the Field Apps bundle.]

I wouldn't agree that it's been poorly implemented. I think Tracker is a neat app, but I just don't agree with the core functionality being removed from the other runtime apps. I think Esri could probably have its cake and eat it too here by keeping some basic location tracking functionality (eg. breadcrumbs) in Collector and for those who need the more advanced location tracking capabilities, that could be where the dedicated Tracker app comes into play. I've never looked into implementing it in the Enterprise and didn't realize that it required the Big Data Store, that said I wouldn't see that as a bad thing. I would dare to speculate that Esri's Spatio-Temporal Big Datastore is probably going to end up cannibalizing the Relational Datastore's features and that 5-7 years from now, we'll all be transitioning to it because it's going to give you so much more flexibility. So getting in to it early is not a bad thing in my view. It's also needed for many of Esri's other products such as GeoEvent and GeoAnalytics. Jeff Shaner and Craig Gillgrass, FYI

I think he meant that Esri is being a bit condescending in their current stance of not offering Python Addins as a capability for Pro.

Just my two cents here, I think icon fonts might not be the best approach. The movement on the web these days is from icon fonts to inline SVG for lots of really good reasons. Of course, that article points out the benefits of using inline SVG on the web, not using SVG in Qt which is a little different. I think many of the points still stand though, especially those about dealing with font antialiasing issues. Also if you wanted to do multi-color icons, well its possible with icon fonts but man what a hassle. Not to mention the real pain of keeping an icon font up to date. I think you'd be better served by just dropping a bunch of SVG files into your assets folder and not dealing with the headache of trying to keep an icon font up to date. If you're really committed to icon fonts though, I came across this blog post from Martin Höher a while back. I couldn't get it to work before I had to move on to something else, but it seems worth experimenting with. Especially the creating of a Fonts QML component to assign the unicode value for each of your glyphs to a property. That would make it much, much more readable.

Would be great to have a CarPlay and Android Auto plugin or whatever so that we could develop CarPlay and Android Auto integrations for an AppStudio app.

We can currently add users to Portal via an Active Directory Group, but when added those users are just given the default Level 1 'Viewer' role. Once the user has logged in, an Administrator then has to log in and change the user's role to the desired role. This is pretty inefficient. It would be great to configure Portal to look at a set of Active Directory Groups for each built-in and custom role configured in Portal and automatically add users found in those Groups to the Portal with the corresponding Portal User Role. This way, we could not only manage access to our Portal through Active Directory, but we could also manage assigned User Roles through Active Directory as well.

Maybe this exists already, if so I don't know about it so please point me to it, but I would love to see the Esri Community Maps program take all of that crowd sourced data they're getting for free from awesome contributors, merge it with some of their Place data from HERE and other providers and give us a legit Places API which is an alternative to the Google Places API.

Paul Christensen, fwiw there is a "pay to own" option, it's called ArcGIS Enterprise.

Pricing in local currency would certainly be ideal.

I think credits need to stay. It costs money for ESRI to store data and run geoprocessing scripts. Mark Volz I don't think anyone is asking for Esri to just make everything free. I think most folks (admittedly not all) understand that there is no free lunch and ArcGIS Online must be able to generate revenue in order to remain viable. The argument being made here (from everything I've read) is to move away from the credit model, which abstracts costs to the point where its difficult for one to immediately recognize the financial impact of running an operation or storing some data, and instead use something more straight forward such as pricing in the user's local currency. The second argument being made is that the existing credit management tools are far from being sufficient.
