Exercise 1: Downloading Maps & Data

Goals: The intent of this exercise is to show students how to launch and sign in, change device settings, and download map content with the S1 Mobile for Android Application. This exercise will provide hands-on experience with the overall application interface and some settings options for downloading content.

Expectations: Upon completing this exercise, the student will be able to login to S1 Mobile Mapper, download base maps and an Edit Geodatabase to be able to collect data. Login to S1 Mobile Mapper The S1 Mobile Mapper application provides both a public view option and an organization option. The public mode option has limited functionality and only allows the users to download from a gallery of authoritative maps and collect GPS features in the field. The following exercises assumes that you have downloaded the latest version of the S1 Mobile Mapper application and signed into the S1 mobile app with an instructor provided S1 FS training account.

□ Tap S1 Mobile icon to open application Getting Started The S1 Mobile for Android application provides the ability to download and manage authoritative base maps as well as user generated reference maps. It can also download feature service content into edit geodatabases for offline data capture. Users are able to view maps, take data offline, and collect features disconnected from the network. However, when the device returns from the field, edits made to this offline edit geodatabase can be synchronized back to the feature service once connected to a Wi-Fi or 4G network.

□ Tap S1 Mobile icon to open application

The application will open to a splash screen and the option to go to the organization login or public maps. S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 1 Page | 3

You can have multiple downloads from the same Edit geodatabase on the device, each with their own unique extent and zoom level. Providing a descriptive name helps differentiate content on the device.

□ Set Map Download Extent by zooming and panning the map using your thumb & index finger to the desired map extent

Each Edit GDB has a maximum extent that is defined at download. However, line and polygon features can be partially outside the edit as long as some part of the feature overlaps the magenta edit extent box. Set an extent that includes the area where you might be collecting any gps data in your virtual training session. For example; about a 10 block radius around where you are taking the class from.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 1 Page | 14

Exercise 1: Downloading Maps & Data

The default is to download Data (All GDB Features) that fall within the download extent. Users can set this to Schema (No GDB features) which will download an Edit geodatabase with no existing features. For this class we will leave this set to Data (All GDB Features). There is also an option to download the basemap with a webmap if this is enabled in the AGOL webmap settings. You can also choose to Download Attachments for the download extent or not. By default, this setting is enabled.

□ Tap Download button to start download

The download of the edit GDB will begin. While the download is proceeding, a progress spinner will display on the Application Toolbar. Monitor the download progress in the notification panel of the device or the spinner in the application toolbar of the application with the percentage download displayed in the center.

The duration of the download process depends on the size of the map extent, the number and complexity of features in that extent, and the number and size of associated attachments within the chosen extent.

When download is complete, the map has a base map and an edit GDB loaded and is ready for viewing and data collection. The maximum extent of the current edit GDB is represented by a magenta rectangle.

Exercise 2: Digitizing Data & Using the Measure Tool

Exercise 2 – Create New Features (Digitize) & Using the Measure Tool

Goals: The intent of this exercise is to show students how to create features via digitizing. This exercise will provide hands-on experience with the basic steps to create a point, line, and polygon. The optional bonus exercise is to use the measure tool to view distance and area.

Expectations: Upon completing this exercise, the student will understand the concept of digitizing features and be able to digitize different feature types in S1. Optional bonus to perform basic length and area measurements. Collect a Point Feature via Digitizing We will be collecting all digitized data for this exercise within the edit extent (yours will reflect wherever you are taking the class from and will look different from the screen caps in the exercise). Make sure your GPS is off before proceeding.

□ Use your thumb and index finger to pinch zoom and pan until the map is zoomed to an extent where you can clearly identify features on the imagery in the area.

What is digitizing? The term refers to capturing the location of a feature by tapping on the screen to create the feature. This is an alternative to creating the feature at the current GPS location, which will be covered in a later exercise.

In this step, we will capture a Park Feature by digitizing its location in the map.

□ Tap Collect Features on the Application Toolbar

□ Select Park Feature from the Create Features list

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 31

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Now that we have discussed the S1 Options, let’s modify a few of the default settings as shown below:

□ Ensure Linear Unit is set to Feet

□ Change Streaming Interval to 10

□ Change Accuracy Level (%) to 95%

With these changes, units across the application will now be displayed in feet, when GPS averaging is used it will average 3 positions to collect a feature/vertex, when GPS streaming is used a position will be captured every 10 feet.

Now that we have configured S1 Options, let’s close the form and start to GPS a Park Feature.

□ Tap the Back button to close S1 Options form

Be aware that setting the Streaming Interval to a value lower than the estimated accuracy of your device’s GPS receiver could result in the application recording streaming positions even if your device has not actually moved beyond the streaming threshold.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 32

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Congratulations! You have completed this section.

Enable GPS Track Log In this step, we will enable the GPS track log recording capability of the application.

What is a GPS Track Log? The S1 Mobile application can record where the device travels as a track log, which is captured as a series of positions logged automatically by the GPS every 5 meters. It logs continuously in the background as long as the track log is enabled. The track can be turned on and off as needed to document location travelled via GPS.

Let’s pan and zoom as needed to show the previously GPS’d features in the map.

□ Tap Collect Features on the Application Toolbar

□ Tap Enable Tracklog from the Create Features list

If GPS is not already enabled it will be enabled at this time. The application will begin logging as the device moves, recording a position every 5 meters.

□ Begin walking around with your device GPS track log positions will be displayed in the map as a series of small blue dots.

Congratulations! You have completed this section.

Collect a Point (PT) Feature via GPS Averaging In this step, we will capture a Park Feature by averaging the current GPS location.

Note: your screen caps may look a little different since we are not using user ref maps, but ESRI basemaps instead due to the virtual locations of students.

What is GPS averaging? The term refers to taking several GPS position measurements at the same location and averaging the results of all positions together to minimize positional error associated with one or more of the individual positions. In locations where GPS accuracy is poor, averaging can improve the spatial quality of the feature being captured. The application handles all of the computations for you, leaving you with a single averaged position.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 35

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

First, we need to activate the GPS to locate our position.

□ Tap Activate GPS on the Application Toolbar

The Map View is automatic centered in the map view and will remain in Auto Pan until GPS is turned off or the screen is tapped.

The GPS Position bar displays location information about the current GPS position (latitude/longitude, number of satellites, estimated accuracy, and coordinate source).

Take note on how the GPS icon changes in the map and on the application toolbar once a position fix has been acquired. Use the reference below for the different GPS icons.

This is how the GPS icon looks on the application toolbar:

Activate GPS button: OFF without satellite fix

Activate GPS button: ON with satellite fix and auto-pan enabled

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 36

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Activate GPS button: ON with satellite fix and auto-pan disabled

This is how the GPS icon looks in the map:

Previous GPS position

GPS position with satellite fix

Auto rotate mode, field of view indicates direction the device is facing

Arrow within GPS position indicates direction of travel (if moving)

GPS estimated accuracy is represented by a blue ring around current location

We will be collecting all GPS data for this exercise within the project area denoted by the orange polygon boundary labeled GPS on the user reference map. Make sure your GPS cursor is within the GPS project area boundary before proceeding.

□ Use your thumb and index finger to pinch zoom and pan until the map extent is zoomed well into your current GPS location You should be able to clearly identify features on the imagery within this area. Your screen may look different than the one shown below.

The GPS is now activated, and we are ready to collect a Park Feature using GPS location & position averaging.

□ Identify a potential nearby Park Feature to collect. Examples of possible park features to collect include: Picnic Table, Sign, Bench, Statue, Monument, Tree, Plant, Trash Can, Automobile, and Light Pole

□ Walk over to this feature and stand as close as possible to it

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 37

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Your current GPS location is where the application will be averaging positions for the Park Feature that is about to be collected.

□ Tap Collect Feature button on the Application Toolbar

□ Select Park Feature Point from the Create Feature list

We are returned to the map. Let’s tap on the Average GPS button to collect a Park Feature at your current location.

□ Tap Average GPS button to average a Park Feature

Average GPS vertices will be captured based on Number of Average Positions setting specified in S1 Options. The total number of positions recorded will be displayed in the Position Status bar. When it reaches the threshold specified in S1 Option, averaging will stop.

Do not move while averaging GPS positions. Doing so will result in reduced data collection accuracy!

Before we save the feature, let’s attach a photo to the Park Feature. The application provides the ability to take one or multiple photos per feature. You also have the option to attach a video. We will not do it in this exercise, but the steps would be similar to collecting photos but choosing the

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 38

□ To hide watermark information, select the Photo Settings button

□ Select Display/Hide option

□ Clear all the checked values and hit OK The photo view will no longer have the watermark information. Let’s take a photo!

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 40

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

□ Frame your subject in the viewfinder and then tap Camera icon to capture photo

Your phone or tablet is capable of taking high resolution photos; however, these photos are often very large in file size. The larger the photo, the longer it will take to synchronize the feature and its photo back to the feature service. Consider limiting the resolution of photos to the smallest resolution supported by your device, unless you have a legitimate need for high resolution photo capture. Photo resolution is set in the camera options.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 41

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

After photo is captured, a preview screen opens. We are going to tap OK if satisfied with the photo. Tap Retry to take another photo.

□ Tap OK to return to the attachment form

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 42

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

After taking the photo, the attachment form opens again. Let’s tap the checkmark so we are returned to the map.

□ Tap Checkmark to save attachment and return to the map

The map is still in Edit Mode. We are ready to fill out the attribute form for the Park Feature.

□ Tap Attribute Form button to open the attribute form

Notice the attributes values were repeated from the last Park Feature. Also, estimated accuracy and coordinate source fields were populated since we used the GPS to collect the feature.

How do estimated accuracy fields get populated? The S1 Mobile Mapper application can record a variety of metadata elements about the accuracy of collected and updated features, directly into the attribute field(s) of each record whenever GPS is used, provided those fields exist in the feature service database schema. If any of the auto-populate fields are part of the published feature service and appear in the GDB layer, the S1 application will automatically populate them when a

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 43

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

feature is created or updated via GPS. See the S1 user guide for a complete list of fields that the application will auto-populate if present in the feature’s schema.

For this exercise, the fields below will be auto-populated by the application.

• Field Name: ACCURACY_FT (double) • Field Name: ACCURACY_M (double) • Field Name: COORD_SRC (text, field length 7)

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Collect a Line (LN) Feature via GPS Streaming Now let’s collect some line features via GPS streaming.

In this step, we will capture a Sidewalk via GPS Streaming.

What is GPS Streaming? The term refers to the ability to capture the geometry of a line or area feature by automatically recording GPS positions or vertices at a user defined interval. Once initiated, the application will continue to collect these measurements until GPS streaming is paused or the feature is saved. GPS streaming interval units are set by the user and can be applied using either a distance or time threshold. □ Identify a potential Sidewalk or other linear feature to collect that is nearby your location

□ Walk over to the start of this linear feature The GPS should still be activated from the previous data collection and we are now ready to collect a Sidewalk using GPS streaming.

□ Tap Collect Feature button on the Application Toolbar

□ Select Sidewalk from the Create Feature list

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 46

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

We are returned to the map. Let’s start to stream a Sidewalk at your current location.

□ Tap Begin Streaming button to initiate GPS streaming capture of the sidewalk

We are now in GPS Streaming mode and can start walking to collect the Sidewalk.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 47

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Continue to walk the length of the sidewalk; the application will automatically add vertices based on the streaming interval set in S1 options (set to 10 feet in the previous section). Each vertex added is represented by a blue dot. The vertices are connected by a dashed orange line as the feature is collected with GPS. The total number of positions recorded will be displayed in the Position Status bar.

If we need to temporarily suspend GPS capture, we can do so by tapping the Pause Streaming button.

□ Tap Pause Streaming button to pause the Sidewalk

Why Pause GPS Streaming? It may be desirable to pause GPS Streaming for a variety of reasons, the most common being the need to deviate from the actual course of the feature due to physical obstructions in the path of the feature. While in Pause Mode, the application will not record any GPS positions until GPS streaming is resumed. Other reasons to pause GPS streaming include: nesting a point feature (covered later in this exercise) or undo the last vertex captured.

The Undo Vertex button can be used to remove vertices while the Sidewalk is being collected. This feature is only available in Pause Streaming Mode.

□ Tap Undo Vertex button to remove the last vertex captured

The last vertex captured is removed from the map.

□ Tap Begin Streaming to resume collecting the remainder of the Sidewalk

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 48

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

When we reach the end of the feature, we are ready to fill out the attribute form for the Sidewalk.

□ Tap Pause Streaming button to pause the Sidewalk

□ Tap Attribute Form button to open the attribute form

Notice the attributes values were repeated from the last Sidewalk. Also, estimated accuracy and coordinate source fields were populated since we used the GPS to collect the feature.

Fill out the attribute form for the Sidewalk.

□ Fill out the attribute form, keep Repeat Attributes checked & tap Submit Edit button

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 49

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

In the interest of time, we are not going to attach a photo to this feature; however, photos can be attached to lines in the same manner as they were added to a new point feature in the previous step.

After saving the feature, you are returned to the map; the Sidewalk is displayed using the symbol defined by the feature service it was downloaded from.

□ As time permits, collect at least one additional Sidewalk feature using GPS Streaming method

Congratulations! You have completed this section.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 50

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Collect a Polygon (PG) Feature via GPS Averaging Now let’s collect some polygon features via GPS averaging.

In this step, we will capture a Park Area via GPS Position Averaging.

Is this the same GPS Averaging as Point Data Collection? Yes, except when collecting a line or area/polygon feature using GPS Averaging, the user captures an averaged position at each significant change in direction of the feature rather than a single averaged position. As with GPS streaming, the application will connect each of the line/area’s averaged positions together to generate the shape of the feature.

Why would I use GPS Averaging instead of GPS Streaming? GPS Streaming is a faster data collection method, but GPS Averaging can produce higher quality data, especially when operating devices under heavy canopy.

□ Identify a potential Park Area feature to collect that is nearby your location, examples of park areas include: Monument, Grassy Area, and Parking Lot

□ Walk over to the start/edge of this area feature

The GPS should still be activated from the previous data collection and we are now ready to collect a Park Area using GPS Averaging.

□ Tap Collect Feature button on the Application Toolbar

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 51

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

□ Select Park Area from the Create Feature list

We are returned to the map. Let’s tap on the Average GPS button to collect the first position/vertex of the Park Area at your current GPS location.

□ Tap Average GPS button to average a vertex at your

current GPS location Average GPS vertices will be captured based on Number of Average Positions setting specified in S1 Options. The total number of positions recorded will be displayed in the Position Status bar. When it reaches the threshold specified in S1 options, averaging will stop.

Do not move while averaging GPS positions. Doing so will result in reduced data collection accuracy!

The Position Status bar will inform you when averaging has completed. At this point, you can now walk to the next significant turn in the shape of the area’s boundary to capture the next averaged GPS position.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 52

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

□ Proceed to the next turn in the shape of the area being mapped, then tap Average GPS button to collect a second vertex

After the second averaged position is captured, continue to add vertices by averaging GPS positions at each significant corner until the shape of the Park Area is achieved. Each vertex is represented by a blue dot. The vertices are connected by a solid black line and the area within the Park Features Area is shaded as the feature is collected with GPS.

I put an averaged vertex in the wrong place! No problem you can use the Undo Vertex button to remove the last vertex that was collected. The shape of the feature will adjust automatically once the erroneous vertex is removed.

□ Continue to add vertices using Average GPS at each significant corner until the shape of the Park Area is achieved

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 53

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

When collecting the positions around the perimeter of area/polygon features, the perimeter will snap itself closed back to the initial vertex that was collected when the feature is stored. To reduce overlap and minimize spatial error, do not collect another vertex when you return to the starting point of the feature being collected.

□ Tap Attribute Form button to open the attribute form

Notice the attributes values were repeated from the last Park Area. Also, estimated accuracy and coordinate source fields were populated since we used the GPS to collect the feature.

Fill out the attribute form for the Park Area.

□ Fill out the attribute form, keep Repeat Attributes checked & tap Submit Edit button

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 54

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

In the interest of time, we are not going to attach a photo to this feature; however, it is possible to attach photos to polygons in the same manner as adding them to points or lines.

After saving the feature, you are returned to the map; the Park Area is displayed using the symbol defined by the feature service it was downloaded from.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 55

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

In these exercises, we collected a line feature using GPS Streaming and an area/polygon using GPS Averaging, but these methods can be applied interchangeably to either geometry type. You can even mix and match data collection methods while collecting a single feature. Example: start collecting a line using GPS Streaming, pause the GPS Streaming capture, then collect higher accuracy GPS Averaged Positions for a stretch, then resume GPS Streaming again.

□ As time permits, collect at least one additional Park Area polygon features using GPS Position Averaging and Streaming, examples of park areas include: Monument, Grassy Area, and Parking Lot

Congratulations! You have completed this section.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 56

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Nested Point Data Collection (Extra Credit) In this step, we will start collecting a Sidewalk feature using GPS streaming. Then we will pause the Sidewalk to collect (nest) the location of a Park Feature observed along the way. After the Park Feature is captured, we will then resume data collection for the remainder of the Sidewalk. This workflow is called nested data collection.

Can you nest multiple points while capturing the line or area feature? Yes, you can collect multiple nested features at different places along the line or area feature. You must however be in Pause Mode (If using streaming capture) in order to begin nesting another feature.

Let’s start nested data collection by streaming a Sidewalk.

□ Identify a potential sidewalk or other linear feature to collect that is nearby your location The GPS should still be activated from the previous data collection. We are now ready to collect a Sidewalk using GPS streaming.

□ Tap Collect Feature button on the Application Toolbar

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

Congratulations! You have completed this section. Navigate to a Map Target The S1 Mobile Mapper application can provide navigation information from your current location to a target on the map. When the GPS has a position fix, users can set a navigation target at a designated location in the map view or a selected feature. While in navigation mode, the application provides updated distance, direction and bearing information to the user (depending on device capabilities), and alerts the user when arriving near target destination.

First we will specify a location in the map where we want to navigate.

□ Long tap on the map to set a Navigation Target (GPS will automatically activate if it is not already enabled). A blue target icon will be placed on the map at the Navigation Target.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 79

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

□ The Navigation Pane displays at the top of the map view. This pane provides distance and bearing values to the navigation target and a compass rosette with an arrow pointing to the navigation target (if the device hardware supports compass).

Is this turn-by-turn navigation? No. This is the geodesic distance between your current location and the target. This does not account for variations in terrain. It is also known by “as the crow flies” distance and navigation. Turn-by-turn navigation is only effective when connected to a cellular network and while on a known transportation grid. In most cases, workers in a natural resource management environment will find that geodesic navigation is the most useful form of target navigation.

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 80

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

□ Tap the navigation pane to see a full screen view of the compass navigation

Distance and bearing values are updated as we approach the navigation target.

□ Navigate to the target until Approaching Destination message displays at bottom of the screen and the device will vibrate A navigation distance alert can be set in S1 Options to notify users when they are approaching a target. We previously set this threshold in S1 Options to 10 feet.

Typically, this setting should never be set lower than the estimated accuracy of the GPS receiver being used to navigate with. With a consumer grade GPS, navigation capabilities will get you in the general area; once the navigation alert is shown, start using your eyes rather than relying on the GPS to navigate you to the target

S1 Mobile for Android Field Data Collection Training - 2021 Exercise 3 Page | 81

Exercise 3: Collecting GPS Data and Interacting with Map Features

□ Tap the Back Button on the Compass window and again on the Navigation window to exit navigation

Exercise 5: Delete Downloaded Content & Ad Hoc S1 Data

As with downloading data, the device must have a Wi-Fi or 4G network connection in order to initiate any sort of data synchronization. If there is no connectivity, the application will prevent any data synchronization attempts. It is strongly advised syncing occur on a reliable Wi- Fi connection rather than cellular whenever possible.

The duration of the sync process will be determined by network speed and the number of features/photos that are being sync’d. While the synchronization process is underway, a progress spinner will display on the Application Toolbar.

When the process has completed, the progress spinner will disappear. A message will appear on screen indicating success: Sync has completed. This message also indicates the number of features that were successfully synchronized.

□ Tap OK to close the Sync Complete window

• Once a GDB has been synchronized, new features can be captured and updates can be made to existing features, within the GDB extent. While it is possible to download multiple GDB extents, it not recommended.

Exercise 5: Delete Downloaded Content & Ad Hoc S1 Data

Access & Review data in AGOL Once a feature service is successfully synced back to AGOL from the S1 Mobile Mapper application it is available via multiple platforms. This data can now be accessed via a simple web browser interface by logging into AGOL, via the powerful desktop GIS software (ArcGIS/ArcPro) and via mobile applications that all access the same feature services & webmaps in realtime. This is a very powerful tool for collecting, maintaining and especially sharing data with everyone who needs to access it via any of these platforms they choose.

If you are accessing data used with the provided training accounts from the instructor of the Virtual S1 session you can use the credentials you received to log into the S1 Mobile app to log into the FS ArcGIS for Organizations account at this URL: https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html. Or if you are running through these exercises on your own and used your own Agency Org account for FS you can use the same login URL as above but sign in with your own credentials, or if you are BLM staff and used your own BLM account you can login to the BLM org and log in here: https://blm-egis.maps.arcgis.com/

Once you have signed into the appropriate organization it is just a matter of browsing to the feature service, web map or web App you are interested in for the data you collected and viewing, managing, sharing or analyzing the data. Data from AGOL can also be accessed as mentioned above in the desktop applications like ArcMap or ArcPro by logging into an AGOL account with those applications and all of the same groups and content for your organization is available to view, modify, manage, analyze or share there as well.

Goals: The intent of this exercise is to expose students to archiving and sharing S1 tracklogs. Review the S1 Geotag photo capabilities. Review device location settings best practices and general S1 Q & A as needed.

Expectations: Upon completing this exercise, the student will know how archive the current GPS track log and share it. Students will also be familiar with the S1 Geotag photo settings, understand device location settings and have some open Q & A time with the instructor.

GeoTag Photo Overview In this exercise we will configure the geotag photo name, manually set an azimuth value, change brand icon for the agency we work for, and capture a geotag photo.

What is a GeoTag Photo? A geotag photo is an image with latitude and longitude coordinates embedded into its metadata (EXIF). The photo is also watermarked with azimuth/bearing, pitch/roll, XY location, altitude, date/time, brand icon, and a configurable file name. The location of the geotag photo is displayed as a camera icon in the map. The user has the ability to review and delete geotag photos from the device.

The geotag photo interface provides many features the user has the option to configure. Please consult the user guide for a complete list of configurable geotag options and settings. GeoTag Photo Interface:

Change GeoTag Photo Name The first thing we want to do is change the name of the photo. In the top left of the geotag photo interface we can see the photo already has a default name, which may not be useful depending on the user’s requirements.

The application has two options to change the geotag photo name. The first option that we will cover in class is the ability to change an individual photo name at the time of capture.

The second option provides the ability to set a default naming convention that applies to all new geotag photos. This option can be accessed under naming convention in geotag settings, but will not be covered in class.

Let’s change the name for the current geotag photo.

□ Tap the Configure File Name button

Rename the file dialog box is displayed.

□ Type in Geotag1 and tap Done

The geotag photo interface opens back up and the photo name reflects the change we made.

Important Note: This option changes the name of this photo only. Access this option again to change the name of the next photo.

Congratulations! You have completed this section.

The Android 10 operating system battery savings can cause problems with GPS data collection. It is constantly trying to turn off GPS for apps that are not being used and also put apps to sleep if they are backgrounded. If you use any workflows where you start collecting a feature and then turn off the screen while S1 continues to collect location information in the background, you want to check this setting.

□ To access, go to device settings by swiping down from the top of the screen, and tapping the gear icon in the upper right.
