## What is GeoID?

* Note : This app uses built-in magnetometer, so iPod Touch does not provides direction of structure/device.

GeoID is a professional tool for measuring and analyzing geological structures. This application includes geological compass, stereographic projection, instability analysis and  wireless data sharing.

• Features
- The clinometer works with all attitude of the device and enables user to measure any structure
- A stability indicator in the clinometer maximizes its accuracy
- Provides many options including notation type, measurement interval, avarage calculation, projection type, etc.
- Can input data manually using several input methods
- Immediate projection and analysis of selected project
- Provides stereonet-based slope stability analysis
- Supports zooming while plotting/analyzing
- Wireless data transferring via Bluetooth and E-mail
- Generates analysis reports with stereonet images and sends them by e-mail
- Supports all iOS devices

Developed by Engineering Geology & GIS Lab.,
Dept. of Energy Systems Engineering,
Seoul National University, South Korea.

Prof. Hyeong Dong Park wishes to express thanks to Prof. Edward Keller and other faculty members of the Earth Sciences Department of University of California Santa Barbara for the useful suggestions and discussions on the improvement of GeoID during Prof. Park's academic visit from 2011-2013.

### 5/5 — Update the app please

*2021-10-03*

It has been 6 years now since it was last updated. Please update the app. I regularly use the app. Thanks

### 3/5 — Mr.

*2019-07-08*

I can't get a hold of tech support. I have two questions. 1) does this app work on an apple 4S iPhone? 2) does the output come relative to true or magnetic north?

### 3/5 — Unable to take photo of discontinuity

*2019-02-28*

App works well for measuring dip/dip direction but am unable to use app to take photos as app does not ask for permission to use camera.

### 3/5 — Provide editing and support function

*2016-07-19*

Would be useful to provide a support link for suggested software developments
Would also be great if you could edit location data, and provide calibration checks to ensure greater accuracy on recorded data

### 5/5 — Best app for taking attitudes!

*2015-03-20*

I've been using this app for about 2 years and it is fabulous.  I don't even carry a bruton any more, and a few of the other geologists on my team have taken to it as well.  I open different projects for bedding and structures, having a stereo net for each lets me see different domains develop as I map.  Seeing that real time, in the field is very powerful.  I haven't found any app as good as this one.

### 5/5 — TAKE NOTE ON DIP DIRECTION

*2014-05-22*

The iphone compass can vary by as much as 25 degrees depending upon the orientation of the phone in portrait or landscape mode. Whichever you choose. Be consistent.

### 5/5 — Nice !!

*2014-01-13*

Stereonet = Rock mechanic, rock and soil, slope stability wow!! Very useful ! Useful app for rock mechanics and rock engineering !!!

### 5/5 — fantastic app

*2013-12-11*

does what it's meant to. can't fault it considering the hardware it's designed for! maybe some integration with offline maps and GIS layers could be good.

### 5/5 — Great app has everything you need to collect and analyze structural data!

*2013-07-26*

This app is fantastic! I love the options to plot and analyze your data on stereo nets and rose diagrams, the ability to export a text or csv file, and the option to take a photo along with a measurement. This app is really well designed and easy to use.

### 4/5 — Fast and Accurate

*2013-03-19*

Fast, Accurate, and Easy to Use
