+1 this a really good point, a separate background layer for reference vector data as described above would provide many benefits including:
-
Would look different to differentiate it from real data, both stake out & collected.
-
Option to make the background data either active or visual only so no more accidentally selecting the wrong point.
-
Turn on/off one or more background layers as needed for better flexibility.
-
Export would only export valid data. Currently after exporting (everything) you have to spend a lot of time in the office weeding back out all the points you loaded for reference only. And there’s no way in Flow to select and remove bulk points first, each individual point currently requires 5 separate touch actions to delete. And that’s after spending a lot of time figuring out which are the ones you really want to delete and the risk is there’s no going back after the wrong one is deleted…
Field Genius Android does background layers (XREF) well
And local background bitmap images is still needed
