In MobileMap, this is accomplished by applying a spatial offset when copying a point feature. To use this functionality, first select the Identify or Edit tool, then select the feature layer for the point that marks the starting point. Note that if the starting point is a Plot, and copying of Plots is not allowed many users disable copy of plots (Settings > MobileMap Cruise > Enable Copying of Plots) then only the Identify tool can be used for this workflow. Tap to avoid accidentally creating duplicate plots.  This means that Plots typically cannot be used as starting points when projecting a new point based on a distance and azimuth.  Instead, it is likely best to start with a Generic Point that is created in the office (InventoryManager or ArcGIS Pro), is digitized to imagery in the field, or is captured via GPS in the field (optionally with GPS averaging and/or a high-accuracy GNSS Bluetooth receiver).  Then, copy the Generic Point to a new Generic Point while applying the spatial offset (distance and direction).

Once the source point layer has been selected, tap on the origin (starting) point to open it’s attribute table. Select the copy Copy tool at the top of the form. When the Copy tool opens, select the target Point layer from the dropdown list. Next, check the ‘Apply Offset’ checkbox. Finally, select the distance units and enter a distance and degrees (azimuth) for the desired new point. As with standard feature Copy functionality, use the checkboxes to opt out of copying any specific attribute to the feature that will be created.
