Throughout this year, we have been marketing ArcGIS Field Maps as the next generation of field data collection in ArcGIS, that brings together the capabilities of ArcGIS Collector, ArcGIS Explorer, and ArcGIS Tracker for an all in one field data collection experience. All development of features and capabilities for data collection, map viewing, notations, and location tracking are now fully integrated and available in ArcGIS Field Maps. As a result, ArcGIS Collector, ArcGIS Explorer, and ArcGIS Tracker will be retired on December 31st, 2021.
We encourage you to migrate from the individual apps to ArcGIS Field Maps to experience the full scope of field data collection capabilities in ArcGIS as well as to remain eligible for software updates and technical support. The transition to ArcGIS Field Maps has been made simple, and the user interface has been designed with familiarity in mind. To further support your transition to ArcGIS Field Maps, please review this migration guide.
ArcGIS Field Maps was built for the Android and iOS platforms only, therefore, the Windows versions of Collector and Explorer will continue to be supported into the foreseeable future. While these apps are not scheduled to be retired at the same time as the iOS and Android apps – there are no additional enhancements planned for the Windows apps.
For users who require a Windows solution in active development, ArcGIS Survey123 and ArcGIS QuickCapture are available in their cross-platform development and continue to build new features on the Windows platform. For more information on this deprecation, visit this blog.
If you require any technical support from our staff during this transition, please notify us via support@tbsl.bz to schedule an appointment.
We look forward to supporting you.
