Without Wi-Fi access, you’re not able to synchronize your edits and use the collected data in ArcMap for instance. The purpose of this tutorial is to experience the use of Collector in field conditions. This tutorial won’t explain you how to create an offline map and synchronize your edits because tons of well-made tutorials already exist for this: Being able to scroll your map of a refugee camp displaying 18000+ points of shelters, 2800+ points of toilets/showers and a 900mb tiled satellite imagery basemap without any lag/loading time on your phone is quite impressive.

They may be restrictive on platform, they may have an MDM for configuring apps that can work inside of the firewall, etc. Platform and your IT group - your IT department *should* have a policy for mobile devices, most do. You obviously are going to pay more for rugged devices than non-rugged and this can be a very personal choice for an organization.ģ. Rugged vs Non-Rugged with casings - varied opinions here. That may be OK for your needs as you can supplement the location capability with an external GPS as well but good to consider as it adds to the price.Ģ. ![]() GPS - unlike a phone, most tablets do not have a GPS chipset included unless you purchase the WiFi + Cellular model. As you mention, new products are being released all of the time and it is difficult to stay current with the latest hardware offerings.įrom the Collector product perspective, I can say that we do see a wide variety of devices being used and it can be quite difficult to choose what best fits for your organization.ġ. ![]()
