So i was going to make a video to show off ATAK and Avenza interoperability and saw that Avenza pro with the wildland symbology is $150 a year now!!! Folks if you have been hesitant to get an Android device for wildfire use for ATAK I cant think of any better excuse than that annual cost. ATAK has sooooo much more capability and its free minus the cost of your device. I was going to make the video using the wildfire symbol sets but my license has expired. I will work on it but just use the regular icons. I will also make a video on how to mark up in ATAK and send that data to your gis as a kmz or shapefile. Seriously though 150 dollars a year!?! Just to have custom symbology?

$150/yr is what happens when Avenzaās biggest customer (Federal fire agencies) fails to renew their contract. Iāll still pay $150/yr for Avenza, even though we currently pay something like $15k/yr for ESRIās software (required on National GIS contracts). Avenza is still the bomb, and you couldnāt pay me enough to suffer thru dealing with setting up ESRIās Field Maps.

@pyrogeography , tell me you havent used atak without telling me you havent used atakā¦
In all seriousness I agree Avenza is a much easier deployment than Esri fieldmaps for the basic things we need. If we are talking about non data-base dependent systems, ATAK smokes Avenza in capability even the pro-version.

NIROPS has UTFād all of the NW California fires so far. Anyone got the skinny on what it might take for FIRIS to be used instead? Not familiar with the admin side of FIRIS, or how come it has been used on a couple of the current fires, but not others?

Both CALFIRE and USFS have Call When Needed Sensor ships working the fires. We are trying to pick up the gaps from the cancelled flights last night currently and provide products later today. FIRIS is assisting when possible on extended attack incidents, but also making sure they have flight hours for Initial Attack Incidents.

Has anyone developed or is there a simple handbook available for utilizing ArcGISPro for fires? I am looking for such a handbook. Am looking forward to ideas. Thank you.

S341 class or you talking about how to use the program itself? ArcGIS Pro is not for a casual user, a lot of things going on there.

Yes, agreed. Simple and ArcGIS shouldnāt ever be used in the same paragraph.
What are you looking to do?

Chief. Take what @hosedragger0703 is saying to heart.To even get into the S-341 class there is pre-work and you need to have a decent base knowledge in GIS. It should be a tool you use frequently. I love that your still hard charging. What do you want to do? What are the ideas? For an ops person TAK is where its at hands down. Go buy a refurbished Samsung S7 plus tablet and prepare to have mind blown. We need to link up for coffee and I can get you squared up in TAK.

There are plenty of free ESRI online trainings and youtube videos out there.

I have a basic understanding of AirGISPro and a personal licensed copy. I am not afraid to learn the program although, it, like many applications, creates perishable skills if not frequently used. I am beyond a casual user.
I shall look into YouTube videos. Using their videos, I have learned much about using Adobe Illustrator CC and Adobe Photoshop CC. Exceptional learning videos on many subjects exist at YouTube. Thank you for the thought.
Does a student manual exist for the S-341 class? If so, how to get a copy?
My challenges have been trying to load a GPS track log into the app and to creating the symbology for divisions, branches, command post, et al. I remember the earlier Ventura Toolsā¦
Thank you to anyone will ideas.
