About this app

ArcGIS Field Maps is Esri’s premier maps app on mobile devices. Field Maps helps mobile workers understand their surroundings, find assets, collect data, and perform inspections, leveraging interactive digital maps that contain up-to-date GIS data from their organization. It includes powerful features like location sharing, smart forms for efficient data collection, geofence alerts, and the ability to complete fieldwork even when offline. Whether you're part of a utility crew, a conservation team, or a city inspection unit, Field Maps is designed to support the work you do on the ground.

Note about permissions: Field Maps is designed for organizational use. This app requires you to have an ArcGIS organizational account to collect and update data. Public maps shared by organizations can be viewed without signing in.

Understand your surroundings:
- View assets and surrounding landmarks or places on GPS-enabled maps.
- Search for assets and access important information about them.
- Use compass guidance to lead you directly to assets and locations.
- Scan barcodes or QR codes to pull up asset records instantly.
- Annotate directly on the map with your finger or stylus to create personal notes.
- Leverage integration with voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation apps to get to your assets.
- Stay safe with geofence alerts as you enter fire zones, wildlife habitats, work areas, etc.
- Measure distances and areas in the map.
- Gain advanced understanding by viewing and tracing utility networks.
- View stationing information along linear assets.
- View assets and locations in floor-aware indoor maps.

Perform data capture and inspections:
- Create new or edit existing asset data.

- Capture photos, videos, and other attachments.
- Speed up data capture with smart forms and reduce manual entry by automatically filling in fields like date or inspector name and making automated calculations.

- Collect assets and perform inspections indoors.

Share your location for coordination & safety:

Coordination and collaboration:

Ratings and reviews

great app, use it for work on surveys. It used to have a feature where the little blue dot turns into a teardrop pointing in the direction you're walking. Any chance we could have that back? It's hard to know where you're going without it, and the optional feature that rotates the whole map to where you're facing really doesn't cut it (plus drains battery). Not sure why the teardrop was removed. Would really like it back. It's currently really hard to keep track of what direction you're going.

v26 is not usable in its current iteration. We had our IT Department roll us back to the base v25.0.0 and it's solved all of our data collection issues. On v26, field collectors were literally having to reboot the phone multiple times a day to get their jobs done. Some expressions don't work in v26. Maps stuck in loading loops. Field Maps stuck in registering activity loops with trimble mobile manager. It's in a really bad state right now. We will stay on v25.0.0 for now. I have tickets open...

Does not work. Any time I attempted to open the app it crashes immediately. I was recommended this app for the sewer maps that are stored in it for the local sewer system that I am on the board for.
