Point customized form
Answered
I use Locus extensively for conservation work in Central Africa.
It remains the best program for navigating and data collection in the field.
But we are very limited in our ability to record data because the form is fixed and only really has two field for data : the title and description. It would be great if there was a way to create custom fields and to be able to use icons as well as text in each custom field such that data can be adapted to needs and non literate people can collect the data. If Locus had this then I would say bye bye to cybertracker, smart, ODK etc.
The same question
Dear Michael,
it's not able to customize the form fields in Locus Map. You can use workaround with other fields like email, url, etc but this isn't ideal. I can only suggest to check our other app Locus GIS. App is focused on professional usage. It's still in beta but can be installed right now. With this app you can create several layers in project, in layer define custom text, numeric fields (table columns), etc.
