ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 are some of the most common applications users leverage to digitize their inspection processes. Field Maps makes it easy for users to create and edit new features, while Survey123 is often specifically used to publish surveys that serve as digital inspection forms for those individual features. When used in tandem in this way, the strengths of both applications can be available for users in the field. This means all of the more advanced survey functions – including the ability to use JavaScript – can be retained for Survey123 forms, while the simplicity of creating new features can be retained in Field Maps. This post will explain how to link these applications together, to create one all-in-one Web Map users can access in the field.
Efficiency on the Map: GIS Tools for Getting Around Faster
The “Traveling Salesman Problem” refers to an optimization problem originating from the plight of salespeople struggling to plan a route between all of their door-to-door stops for the day. In the world of computer science, computational time for solving problems can vary vastly depending on the complexity of the problem. For a traveling salesman making upwards of 50 stops per day, it can be tough to calculate the fastest possible route among every single possible option. Thankfully, GIS can often provide the best practical solution in a world where everyone is always on the move.

Transforming Field Work: The Power of Esri's Field Maps Designer
Data collection in the field can be stressful when dealing with the unpredictable environments and weather conditions field crews may encounter. With traditional clipboards and paper, any number of mistakes can be made – and transferring this data into a digital system is not only duplicative, it can also be a challenge. ArcGIS Field Maps provides users with the ability to streamline data collection and ensure quality data is being collected in the field. Field Maps Designer can make your Web Map mobile-ready to enable quick data input and easy location-based map navigation. The best part is that all data collected automatically becomes available in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise.
