## Description

ArcGIS Navigator is a robust navigation tool designed to improve efficiency and reliability for field workers. It offers voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions with automatic route recalculation, ensuring users reach their destinations smoothly. The app supports fully offline navigation using locally stored data, making it ideal for areas with limited connectivity.

Users can access Esri's detailed navigation maps or integrate their own custom maps to search assets, route on personalized roads, and visualize layers. The extension facilitates managing daily tasks by allowing users to complete stops individually or organize a full work list for the day. With vehicle-specific travel modes and seamless integration with other ArcGIS apps like Collector for ArcGIS, it provides a powerful solution for workforce navigation. To use ArcGIS Navigator, an ArcGIS named user account and Navigator license are required, with a free trial available at esri.com/navigator.

## Review summary

Users often face significant login and loading problems with ArcGIS Navigator, including persistent blank screens and failures to proceed past sign-in. Many report frequent crashes requiring reinstallation. The app is functional and integrates well within the Esri ecosystem for licensed users but is frustrating for those without proper accounts or licenses. Loading times are long, and lack of clear account access information causes user frustration.

- Easy to use when the app is functioning properly.

### Cons

- Frequent app crashes and freezes, often resulting in a blank white screen requiring data deletion and reinstallation.
- Login issues are widespread, with many users unable to sign in or get past the login screen, especially without an ArcGIS account.
- Long loading times or failure to load, necessitating reinstallation to function.
- Lack of clear communication regarding account requirements; public or trial account users find the app unusable without prior notice.
- Some users experience licensing errors despite having valid licenses in the backend.
