ArcGIS Navigator vs Fieldpad

ArcGIS is available on your desktop, in a browser, and now on your iPhone or iPad. Navigate to where you need to be, unlock efficiency, and improve your field workforce reliability.  To use Navigator, you must have an ArcGIS account and a Navigator license. Key Features: - Use voice-guided turn-by-turn directions with automatic route recalculation. - Navigate completely offline with locally stored data (even in the background). - Access Esri's navigation maps or use your own maps—search your assets, route on your roads, and view your layers. - Follow shared routes. - Complete stops one at a time, or create a work list for an entire day's work. - View information about your assets. - Use vehicle-specific travel modes. - Receive stops from an email, your own app, or other ArcGIS apps such as Collector for ArcGIS. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Fieldpad is a mobile application designed for transportation and infrastructure agencies to support structured visual monitoring of infrastructure projects and public assets. The app enables authorized field personnel to capture geotagged photos and videos and associate them with assigned projects and asset categories such as pavement sections, lane markings, signage, traffic signals, and related infrastructure elements. Captured records are organized and synchronized with a secure web-based platform, providing centralized access for monitoring, documentation, and reporting. Fieldpad supports consistent field data collection across multiple teams and locations, helping agencies maintain accurate and organized visual records of roadway and infrastructure assets. Key Features: - Secure user authentication - Access to assigned projects and asset categories - GPS-based project and asset identification - Photo and video capture within the app - Ability to add comments to visual records - Offline data capture - Automatic synchronization when connectivity is available
