The Chaffee Rec Plan has many strategies and empowering volunteers like you is one of them
Old Survey and Map Removal
If you participated in last year’s surveying effort the first step in this process is to remove the previous version of the Campsite Collector survey from your phone. This survey will no longer be supported or used for data collection
Open the campsite collector survey and click on the options button on the top right corner.
In the pull out menu, choose “delete survey” to remove the old survey from your mobile device.
If you downloaded the Campsite Collector 2.0 Campsite Condition, Agency Action, and Volunteer Action surveys as well as the Chaffee County Campsite Collector Field Map offline maps we noticed an issue with all of these iterations of version 2.0.
We have fixed these problems with what is now called the “Rec Adopter” suite of surveys and offline maps.
For all of the campsite collector 2.0 surveys please follow the same instructions. Open each of the surveys individually
Click on the options button on the top right corner. In the pull out menu, choose “delete survey” to remove the old survey from your mobile device. Continue for all surveys
In addition to the Campsite Collector 2.0 surveys, we have also updated the Field Maps offline maps. You will also need to delete the previous versions of the offline maps and replace them with new offline maps.
Open field maps and click on the chaffee county recreation in balance campsite map.
For each of the map areas you have downloaded click on the options icon to the right. Select remove area to remove the offline maps from your phone.
