GeoBaroud – Outil de localisation ultra précis et multi-format GeoBaroud vous offre une géolocalisation avancée en temps réel en exploitant pleinement les capteurs de votre smartphone (GPS, accéléromètre, magnétomètre). Conçu pour répondre aux exigences des professionnels de terrain – pompiers, cadres HBE, forestiers, marins et passionnés d'orientation – GeoBaroud permet de connaître votre position exacte et de la convertir instantanément dans quatre formats essentiels : • Code DFCI – Système français adapté à la gestion des feux de forêt. L'application détecte automatiquement le carré DFCI dans lequel vous vous situez et précise la sous-zone correspondante grâce à une analyse fine de la grille dynamique. • Degrés Décimaux (DD) – Format moderne, universel et numérique pour une lecture rapide et une compatibilité internationale optimale. • Degrés, Minutes, Secondes (DMS) – Format traditionnel, détaillé et idéal pour les relevés sur le terrain ou les rapports opérationnels exigeants. • Degrés, Minutes Décimales (DMD) – Format intermédiaire pris en charge pour une conversion fluide depuis des relevés GPS ou documents techniques. • Carte interne haute performance – Fonds Plan IGN, OSM et Satellite avec carroyage DFCI vectoriel (100 km, 20 km, 2 km et sous-zones .1 à .5). Repérez un point au tap : conversions DFCI, DD, DMS, distance, azimut et itinéraire. • Cartographie DFCI en ligne – Visualisez pistes, citernes, points d'eau, vigies et centres de secours sur la carte (Open DFCI / Entente Valabre, connexion requise). • Plans hors ligne – Téléchargez le Plan IGN par département (96 départements métropolitains, ~200–400 Mo/dept) pour consulter la carte sans réseau. • Obstacles & réseau RTE – Antennes, cheminées de plus de 30 m et lignes haute tension pour anticiper les risques sur le terrain, notamment en opérations héliportées. • Hors-ligne intégral – Localisation, conversions et recherche DFCI fonctionnent sans réseau ; seuls les fonds de carte et calques en ligne nécessitent une connexion. Fonctionnalités principales • Géolocalisation en temps réel – GeoBaroud exploite votre GPS en continu pour afficher latitude, longitude et marge d'erreur, et calcule la distance vers la cible en mètres ou kilomètres. • Conversion multi-format automatique – Que vous utilisiez la localisation automatique ou la saisie manuelle, GeoBaroud convertit instantanément votre position en DFCI, DD, DMS et DMD. • Visualisation interactive du carroyage DFCI – Grille dynamique avec point positionné précisément, carré 2 km × 2 km et sous-zone identifiés, boussole intégrée pour une lecture directionnelle intuitive. • Orientation et calcul de l'azimut – Flèche dynamique indiquant la direction de la cible et son azimut cardinale. • Partage et ouverture cartographique – Envoyez votre position (et ses conversions) par SMS, WhatsApp ou autre messagerie. Ouvrez-la dans Google Maps, Waze, Earth, IGN, etc. • Modes de saisie interactifs – Mode « localiser » (GPS) ou « chercher » (saisie manuelle en DFCI, DD, DMS ou DMD). Pourquoi choisir GeoBaroud ? • Fabriqué par des Pompiers pour des Pompiers – Conçu par des intervenants de terrain pour la lutte contre les incendies et des opérations d'urgence. • Ultra performant et optimisé – Interface réactive et calculs de précision intégrant distance, azimut, boussole orientée et conversion multi-format. • Respect absolu de votre vie privée – Aucune donnée personnelle n'est collectée. Votre position reste sur votre appareil et vous seul décidez si vous la partagez. • 100 % gratuit, sans publicité – Application rapide et fiable, pensée pour simplifier vos interventions sur le terrain. Téléchargez GeoBaroud et prenez le contrôle total de votre géolocalisation avec la flexibilité des conversions en DFCI, DD, DMS et DMD, pour répondre à toutes vos exigences opérationnelles.
