geoTools is a set of tools to use in geologic, geophysical, engineering and geographic work. It includes the estimation of important geophysical quantities, such as Bouguer anomaly, topography, magnetic declination, and so on, and a quick coordinate converter. The ideal companion for a geologist, a geophysicist, an engineer, a geographer, and to any person interested in the Earth Sciences. The easiest and more effective way to calculate the parameters associated to the Earth's gravity field and magnetic field. Convert coordinates from geographic to Universal Transverse Mercator and vice-versa with one touch, using different reference systems. Since 2018 the app uses the new IGRF geomagnetic model to estimate the magnetic parameters. All the tests we've made show very good results. PLEASE NOTICE: geoTools is free, no ads, no purchases, absolutely free! If you use it, please let a review to help us keep upgrading the app. It is simple, fast, and very important to us!

NOTE: * Application won't save or send any user information to any where. * Quick feature: Touch on map to find coordinate & direction * Location address name in application is provided by Google Service, it's just relatively. But GPS latitude-longitude is detected by your device and it is exactly. Support finding and showing position via 5 types: 1. Decimal degrees (DD) 2. Degrees°minute’ seconds" (DMS) 3. Degrees° minute.decimal’ (DM) 4. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) 5. The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) Map Coordinate is application compass and google map work together, is a navigational instrument that shows directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the Earth. And will help you retrieve the coordinates and/or address of a specific location on the map. The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions (or points) – north, south, east, and west. Intermediate directions are also defined. + You can quick get direction by tap on screen via 3 types: Driving, Walking & BiCycling + You can use it in operations at sea, in the forest, desert, direction of flight of the aircraft ... + You can quick to search address or find out exactly location by enter Coordinates or enter Latitude & longitude. + You can quick to switch 4 types of maps: - normal - satellite - terrain - hybrid "Map Coordinate" can use GPS to find your location and address you standing.
