The Chocorua Map app is a mobile guide to trails and points of interest (POIs) in and around Mt. Chocorua and its eponymous Lake, especially the area preserved, directly or indirectly, by the Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC). If you allow the app to use your location (e.g., GPS), you can find and track your position on the map. The app contains abundant information on trails, including how long it should take at a given pace, as well as historical and geological points of interest.. Measure distances and compass bearings by tapping and dragging on the map. Publicly accessible lands of different types are shown with transparent color overlay. The background map was rendered from LiDAR topography and has a resolution of 1 meter. The app's built-in POIs describe sites of historical interest, unique landscape features and how they developed, and features of geological and ecological significance. The user may enter their own POIs and attach photos to them; all user-entered information remains private to user's device. The user can share their POIs with other people or apps via the standard iOS Sharing Panel. The app is completely self-contained: No internet connection is necessary. Furthermore, user data is NEVER uploaded automatically to the Internet and can never be seen by the app programmer, CLC, or any other third party. This app is for educational purposes only and should not be used as a sole source of navigation. The CLC and the author are not responsible for the accuracy of any of the information presented by this app.

About

LapisAI

Features
Read full description

LapisAI is a geology-focused field companion for investigating geological evidence, exploring mapped geology, recording observations, and developing geological reasoning. Built for geologists, geoscience students, field professionals, researchers, and anyone curious about the geology around them. INVESTIGATE GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE Photograph or upload geological evidence such as rocks, outcrops, cores, structures, maps, and field notes. LapisAI separates observation from interpretation and presents evidence-aware geological reasoning, including confidence and limitations where appropriate. QUICK SCAN Use Quick Scan for a fast first look at geological evidence. Free Quick Scans are available each week. DEEP ANALYSIS Use Deep Analysis for more detailed investigations, including multi-image reasoning, evidence comparison, follow-up refinement, and structured geological interpretation. Deep Analysis credits are available as one-time packs. No subscription is required. EXPLORE NEARBY GEOLOGY Use your current device location to retrieve mapped regional geological context. Explore nearby formations, geological units, mapped ages, and supporting geological descriptions directly on the map. Mapped geology provides regional context and should not be treated as proof of the identity of a photographed specimen or outcrop. DIGITAL FIELDBOOK Save geological investigations and observations in your Fieldbook so your evidence and interpretations remain organised and easy to revisit. LEARN AND PRACTISE Train your geological eye with daily geology challenges and additional practice questions. Learning activities reinforce the same workflow used throughout LapisAI: Observation → Interpretation → Verification EVIDENCE-AWARE AI Geological interpretation involves uncertainty. LapisAI is designed to communicate confidence, evidence limitations, and alternative possibilities rather than presenting uncertain interpretations as established fact. LapisAI supports geological investigation and learning. It does not replace professional field verification, laboratory analysis, regulatory assessment, or qualified geological judgement.
