Unlocking the Power of ArcGIS Field Maps: From Data Collection to Gold Exploration
When it comes to geospatial technology, ArcGIS Field Maps stands out as one of the most versatile tools for field operations. Designed by Esri, it brings together data collection, map viewing, and location tracking in a single mobile app. Whether you’re conducting environmental surveys, managing infrastructure, or monitoring natural resources, Field Maps streamlines workflows by giving field teams everything they need at their fingertips.
Why ArcGIS Field Maps?
ArcGIS Field Maps replaces multiple apps by offering one unified solution for mobile GIS. Users can:
- Collect accurate field data, even offline.
- Access and update maps in real time.
- Track workforce activities and locations.
- Integrate seamlessly with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise.
This makes it an indispensable tool for industries where precision and efficiency are critical.
A Real-World Example: Gold Exploration
During the Esri User Conference 2025, one participant shared how their team uses ArcGIS Field Maps for gold exploration. By mapping geologic features, recording sample locations, and tracking fieldwork in rugged terrains, they’ve streamlined the exploration process. The ability to work offline in remote locations ensures that no critical data is lost, while synchronization with ArcGIS Online allows seamless collaboration back at headquarters.
This example highlights how Field Maps isn’t just about traditional surveying—it’s transforming industries like mining, agriculture, and energy by making spatial data actionable on the ground.
How Organizations Benefit
With ArcGIS Field Maps, organizations can:
- Improve decision-making with reliable field data.
- Save time by reducing paper-based workflows.
- Enhance collaboration between field and office teams.
- Ensure accuracy with integrated GPS and smart form-based data collection.
Bringing It All Together
ArcGIS Field Maps is more than a mobile GIS app—it’s a bridge between the field and the office, powering smarter decisions across industries. From gold exploration to infrastructure management, it proves that the right data, collected at the right time, can change the way we see and interact with the world.
