ArcGIS Field Maps will replace the ArcGIS Collector app in December of 2021.

Field Maps was released in October 2020 and is set to replace ArcGIS collector in December 2021 so now is the time to dive into using Field Maps.   The migration to Field Maps will simplify the ArcGIS variety of ‘mobile mapping applications’ and eventually consolidate functionality into one application: ArcGIS Field Maps.   For EAST students, you have used ArcGIS Collector when field mapping or creating new geodata, such as points, lines or polygons from your mobile device, so Field Maps should feel very familiar. If you have questions, contact the EAST Geospatial Support Team (Brian Culpepper or Malcolm Williamson)

There are several excellent ESRI Blog posts that summarize what you can do with Field Maps and why it will improve your workflow; especially if you are needing to ‘work offline’ in an area with limited cellular service.  Map navigation within the Field Maps app has also improved, so let’s download it and try out these FIVE THINGS TO TRY WITH THE NEW FIELD MAPS app from Esri.   We are interested in hearing your thoughts too!
