Where do I even start? Offline Basemaps is barely usable in its current form. Here is a list of problems that NEED to be addressed ASAP;
  1. Airplane is mode is required for the downloaded maps to display properly. When connected to cell service, the app tries to pull the imagery from the cloud instead of the downloaded map. This results in blurry, unusable imagery when service is poor.
2.The geometry window on IOS often shows low quality imagery even if an offline basemap is downloaded.
  1. The download window is atrocious. It needs to be able to change aspect ratio and orientation to avoid downloading extraneous area. You should also to be able to see records and other layers in the download window to provide context for what you are downloading.
  2. Downloads often crash, deleting the download progress. The progress should be saved and the download should resume when connection improves.
P.S. What happened to the imagery cache? It barely works and resets every time I close the fulcrum app. in previous years, when I would look at an area while in service, it would save the imagery in the cache and I could view satellite imagery offline. That honestly worked a lot better than the current offline basemaps features, which is causing efficiency issues in the field.
Sincerely,
A proud Fulcrum user wanting better
