S1 Mobile Mapper
For the public S1 Mobile provides offline mapping capability that distributes official US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management maps for offline use. Maps that are distributed are free maps that are already publicly available and have gone through the appropriate agency public affairs process. Application includes GPS capability so that you can see where you are on public land even when not connected to any cell network (note that maps must be downloaded to device in order to see them offline). Additionally the app includes the ability to take way points, GeoTag photos and basic navigation as the crow flies.
For government staff (currently available to Bureau of Land Management, US Forest Service, National Park Service, USGS and National Interagency Fire Center) S1 is designed to extend offline mobile field data collection capabilities not available using commercial ESRI mapping applications and to meet the specific data collection needs of the federal agencies served by the OR/WA Service First Mobile GIS program. The application leverages each agency's ArcGIS for Organization (AG4O) site as well as their internal ArcGIS Server deployments to distribute, collect, and update enterprise geographic information systems (GIS) information by agency field personnel.

I really enjoy the use of tile packages and streamlined, standardized data collection and management of this application. The set up with geodatatbases and ArcGIS Online takes a bit, but it leads HUGE efficiency savings with near realtime data syncing. On the timber preparation side of a timber sale contract package it increased our operational efficiency by 30-50%. In heavy canopy and ruggedized terrain you may need an additional bluetooth GPS antenna such as Garmin glo to work quickly.
This app is great for offline data collection. Also has great recreation maps for FS and BLM recreation areas. Nicely done!
App does not contain PLSS data. Hitting back button once closes app even when trying to go back a page entering login credentials.
Very good tablet app. The maps are very useful.
It's wonderful to have quick access to the f.s. maps for my area.
Only has USFS topo maps in most areas.
Why are there no maps or pins in Idaho for BLM land?
To the developers, this is one of my favorite applications for back country travel where data connection isn't possible. However, the one feature lacking that I would absolutely love to have is the ability to upload a gpx track of some sort. Maybe that's a feature available to government users but it's my only real complaint about the app everything else works great. The interface does have a small learning curve though...
App simply didn't work for me. It showed a map of the US and wouldn't or couldn't find and load any maps. If had no BLM data. It was just a bare app. I don't see its usefulness.
It's super awesome and so easy to use! My favorite app to use to collect field data.
Excellent application. Really helps with data collection and sharing. Offline Forest Service maps are wonderful.
Great app for reference maps from BLM & the forest service.
Awesome maps! The ability to use offline and capture waypoints make this app great!
This app has great features but crashes constantly or has sync/dowload issues regularly.
Free maps that are better than many paid ones. Plus tracking coming soon. A perfect app for my backcountry offline needs. Thanks !
