# Map (Beta) application in Collect Survey

Asked by joseph on 2017-02-21

The Map App in Collect (Survey) gives great opportunities... I suggest that the samplingpoints are shown as a base layer allowing field data on top (at least as a possibility. It could function as a dashboard for field work planning/monitoring red: errors, orange: warnings, green: ok... maybe give the circles a 2-color contour black-white so that they are visible in all (3) backgrounds and different symbol for the various surveys... Success, look forward to the new developments. Hope that this can also be built in CollectMobile!

Hi Joseph,  
We don't have too much time to spend on that feature now, it will remain a beta for a few months because we are concentrating our efforts on the development of a brand new Collect that will include lots of new features.  
Meanwhile we will add the possibility to change color and shape of every layer placemark, together with the possibility to export the layers as KML files.  
Many thanks,
