I’m curious if anyone else has experience with tools for editing and collecting data in the field.

I’m vaguely aware of QField for QGIS. I believe ESRI has their own tools for that context, but I don’t know what they are.

I’m also familiar with some tools for a specific industry: namely inspection and data collection for utilities. Some of the ones I know are probably best described as “long in the tooth.”

What are the options these days? Where do you go for users that need to collect data in the field, whether it’s inspection data, correcting existing GIS data, or collecting new data?

    I’ve used OSM Tracker for basic field work. You have OSM as base and some predefined point types / tracks. It works out of the box and is really easy to use.

      OK, good to know, and thank you. I’d forgotten about the OSM tools, but those are definitely tuned for collecting data in the field. I need to revisit those.
