FieldWorks Support

The working project is stored inside FieldWorks on your device. It is not automatically copied to Insight Spatial. Keep regular exports in a location approved by your organization, because uninstalling the app, clearing app data, or losing the device can remove the only local copy.

Open system Settings and allow location access while using FieldWorks. Move to an area with a clear view of the sky and wait for the accuracy indicator to settle. Buildings, trees, vehicle roofs, and device settings can reduce GPS quality.

Yes. Line and area layers can use GPS tracking. Review the live accuracy and geometry before finishing. FieldWorks can offer line simplification for dense GPS tracks, but you should still inspect the result before saving.

FieldWorks records the available position and direction at capture time. A video can also carry a GPS track. Optional on-image information is controlled from the camera interface. Accuracy depends on the device sensors and surroundings.

Supported workflows include GeoPackage, zipped Shapefile, GeoJSON, CSV, KML/KMZ, GPX, project packages, and PDF reports. Geometry and field support varies by format, so review the import summary and exported result.

Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox connections use the provider’s sign-in page. FieldWorks can list and transfer the files or folders needed for actions you choose; it does not ask for your provider password. Disconnect the account in FieldWorks or revoke access in the provider’s account settings.

Check internet access, the selected map source, credentials, and service coverage. Custom XYZ, WMS, WMTS, and ArcGIS services may also have layer, coordinate-system, quota, or licensing requirements set by their operator.

No. FieldWorks supports field observations and approximate device positioning. It does not establish legal boundaries or replace a licensed survey, engineering judgment, excavation clearance, or required safety procedure.
