Last June 5, also known as “World Environment Day”, Esri released the newest version of Collector for ArcGIS. You can download the latest version of Collector in the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store and the Windows Store.
The latest version of Collector for ArcGIS “adds some strategic new enhancements that will improve the way you work with high accuracy GPS receivers, manage attachments, work with basemaps and use Collector in a connected environment.”
Among the enhancements in the latest version of Collector identified by the Esri Collector Team are:
- GPS Averaging – can be used to improve the precision of your high-accuracy collection workflows. You can capture a number of positions and create a location from the average of those positions.
- Rename Media Attachments – a user can give a meaningful name to the photos that one takes around a feature.
- SD Card Support (Android) – users can use the SD card to store and mange basemaps for easier, faster deployment of data.
- Continuous Collect Improvements – now supports feature types that contain relationship classes.
- Layer Refresh Support - if feature layers have a layer fresh interval set, Collector will honor the refresh setting. This is valuable when working with maps in a connected stat as the graphics of a feature are cached when on the device and this will force a query/update.
