About

geoDB Field — offline data collection for mineral exploration Log drill holes, collect soil and rock samples, and map geology in the field — online or off. Built for geologists and field crews who need their data captured accurately the first time, without cell signal. Three workflows, one app Drill Logging — Record collars, lithology, alteration, structure, mineralization, and samples against a downloaded drill hole, with GPS surveys and 4K core photos. Everything queues locally and syncs when you're back in range. Field Work — Execute planned soil sampling and claim staking programs with GPS navigation. Quality-control bags (standards, blanks, duplicates) download to your device and fill by scanning a barcode — no more writing bag numbers by hand. Stations that still owe a field duplicate are marked right on the map. If a project runs more than one sampling program, pick which one you're working and the station list, map, and QC queue all narrow to match. Geologic Mapping — GPS-tied sketches, structure measurements, field notes, and photo capture, with your drill holes, samples, and claims rendered as reference layers underneath. Built for the field, not the office Full offline support — every workflow works with zero signal, syncs automatically once you're connected. Dark mode throughout, for early starts and late nights in camp. A live compass overlay for structural measurements (strike/dip). Configurable coordinate formats and high-accuracy GPS. View your other projects on the map as read-only reference context. Free to use — no subscription required. Create an account to protect your data and sync across devices; local-only projects work without one. Part of the geoDB platform — the same data your field crews collect syncs straight to your team's geoDB web account for QA/QC, reporting, and 3D visualization.

What's New in geodb field

2.0.0

November 1, 2026

geoDB Field 2.0 Petra on your phone - Ask Petra about your project, and pick up chats you started on any device. - Talk instead of typing with push-to-talk dictation, and attach photos to a question. Uploads that look after themselves - New "Upload automatically when online" setting: what you collect goes up when you come back into coverage or reopen the app. Choose Wi-Fi only if you want to save mobile data. - If the office refuses a record, the app now says why. Set it aside or take the server's copy, and nothing you collected is lost. Notifications - Get notified when Petra finishes an answer, with a daily summary of new project data, and when imports, exports and claims are done. Choose what you receive in Settings. Your project's map layers in the field - Contacts, faults, units and other lines and areas drawn in the office now show on the map, with labels and an info sheet when you tap one. - The office can choose which layers start switched on, and your own choices are kept. QC reminders that follow your project's QC schedule - The app reminds you when a standard, blank or duplicate is due, and can hold the next sample until it is entered when your project requires it. Smoother field days - A clear "You're at the target" cue when navigating to a sample or stake. - Photos of stakes and planned samples stay visible after they upload. - The keyboard no longer covers the field you are typing in. - New office custom fields appear without a fresh download, even offline. - Fixes for an empty Field Work map, drill logging (mineral percentages, abandoned holes) and many smaller issues.
