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 Mapsis 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Works well for general info regarding maps. Many unintuitive UI choices.
For checking information regarding POIs on a map, it works great. Many of the UI choices seem to be a bit “odd”. Not a lot of customization options in terms of how a map is viewed and when they do exist, they don’t seem to be permanent choices. Also, my biggest gripe right now, the latest update has made it so that any change to a POIs information requires a “cool down” period before you can edit another section of information about that POI. This isn’t a huge deal unless that POI has multiple changes in multiple information boxes that need changed at the same time. We have 10,000+ POIs that need to be updated yearly through physical inspection. The previous version was very smooth and allowed us to get the inspections done fast since there was no waiting period between each data entry you made on the same POI. Now, our inspection time on each POI has doubled, if not more, because we are forced to wait for the app to decide we can continue with data entry for the next data box. Not sure what change was made to cause this but it absolutely needs fixed for our needs. It’s hamstringing us arbitrarily to a very real degree.
It’s mediocre at best
This app is fine, but it could be so much better. One of the many things you could improve right now is having the cone of vision always be present to show where you are facing.
That cone is way too small and faint on the app when it is enabled. It comes standard in Apple Maps, so I do not see why it has to be so tiny. Another problem is the bouncing around.
You constantly bounce around on the map, so if you are trying to geolocation yourself to a point it will be completely off base. I think it tries to predict where you are, but I’m not certain. But since this is literally the only game in town, they aren’t going to change any of it
Photo direction errors
All in all working in offline mode functions pretty well after you have enough experience to figure out all the quirky non-intuitive issues. For example, the photo direction (I.e. - exif data) is apparently not captured when you actually take the photo but when you “add data” or “update point” so if you change direction to take the photo the direction arrow in your field report/photo log will be off. Or if you hit “update” point while in landscape thinking you are refining your location and direction, your photo direction in your photo log will actually be off 90 degrees since the app is set up to lock it in while holding it in a portrait position (so you basically need to first rotate it back to portrait position and hold your phone at as close to the same direction in portrait as you took the photo in landscape to lock in the correct direction)….very annoying it doesn’t just use the exif data the moment a photo is taken.
