Install ArcGIS Field Maps on Windows 11

Summary

Note:
ArcGIS Field Maps on Windows 11 has been deprecated and will be retired on March 5th, 2025. For more information, see the deprecation notice.

ArcGIS Field Maps can run on a Windows 11 machine using a virtualization capability called Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). WSA allows a Windows 11 device to run Android applications that are available in the Amazon Appstore.

Note:
• The Amazon Appstore is not available in every country (list of supported countries).
• Apps available in the Amazon Appstore, including Field Maps, do not have dependencies on Google Play Services.
• Some computer settings may prevent install, and you may need to consult with your IT department.

The ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app was added to the Amazon Appstore to support ArcGIS Field Maps customers using Windows 11. This article describes how to install the ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app on a Windows 11 device.
