GeoFieldBook vs Field3Dnotes

GeoFieldBook is designed for use in structural geology field mapping projects as a complement or replacement for the traditional paper field notebook and maps. The App integrates the iPad's GPS, camera, data management and mapping capabilities to allow geologists to record structural and formation information, automatically log geo-located data, link images to each record and input pre-defined formation names for different mapping areas. The records are then displayed in real-time on an image base (Apple) with strikes and dips displayed in the correct orientation and color-coded to the formation list. Field measurements and notes can be exported in csv format for integration into analysis software. Existing data sets (records and formation lists) can also be imported into the App. Record types currently supported (more are coming): - Bedding - Contacts - Faults - Joints - Other (generic entries) - Up to five additional user-defined record types with five additional fields per record. Depending upon the record type selected, inputs include: - Name (your entry) - Location (auto recorded) - Time/date (auto recorded) - Dip amount and direction (from your measurements) - Formations (scroll wheel entry) - Notes (your entry) - Five additional user-defined input fields

Field3Dnotes is a professional application for digital 3D geological mapping, structural data acquisition, and real-time field analysis on iPad and iPhone. Engineered for geologists, researchers, and field geoscientists, Field3Dnotes brings high-resolution 3D models directly into the field, enabling touch digitizing and orientation measurements using integrated iOS sensors, even when completely offline. Key Features: 3D Model Management: Import, display, and inspect high-resolution 3D tiles and photogrammetric models with smooth rendering performance in remote field environments. Real-Time Structural Measurements: Measure strikes, dips, lineations, and planar features directly using built-in device sensors or touch digitizing on 3D surfaces. Geolocation & "Follow Me" Mode: Track your real-time field position superimposed on 3D terrain models using built-in GNSS positioning. Digital Mapping Tools: Digitize geological contacts, faults, and structural features directly onto 3D geometries with sub-metric precision. Multimedia Field Notes: Georeference photos, audio notes, and text records linked directly to 3D spatial coordinates. 100% Offline Workflow: Complete field independence with full offline dataset support; no cellular or internet connection required in the field. Designed for structural geology, engineering geology, mineral exploration, and academic research.
