• Added a Geological Compass & Clinometer to measure strike & dip using your phone’s sensors, plus a digital clinometer for quick slope readings. • Introduced a Barometric Altimeter with real-time elevation from pressure data, including GPS fallback for more reliable field measurements. • Improved overall accuracy and stability for geological orientation and altitude tracking.
MoreGeoKit can measure strike and dip using your phone's sensors, and provides a digital clinometer for accurate slope angle measurements. It offers precise geological orientation data for field use.
GeoKit uses a barometric altimeter for real-time altitude readings based on atmospheric pressure. It also includes a GPS altitude fallback and supports elevation tracking for field surveys.
Yes, GeoKit is designed to be offline capable, allowing you to download maps and store data locally even in remote field locations without internet access. Cloud sync is available when you reconnect.
You can export your field data in several common GIS formats, including KML, GeoJSON, and CSV. This makes your data compatible with popular software like QGIS, ArcGIS, and Google Earth.
Yes, GeoKit includes real-time USGS earthquake data displayed on an interactive seismic map. You can also opt-in for push notification alerts for earthquakes.
GeoKit is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices, running on iOS. It was last updated on March 1, 2026, with version 1.4.
GeoKit has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users. It is a free application with no in-app purchases or advertisements.
GeoKit utilizes your device's sensors for measurements like strike, dip, and slope angles, aiming for accuracy in field conditions. The barometric altimeter provides real-time elevation data.
