geoDB Field — offline data collection for mineral exploration Log drill holes, collect soil and rock samples, and map geology in the field — online or off. Built for geologists and field crews who need their data captured accurately the first time, without cell signal. Three workflows, one app Drill Logging — Record collars, lithology, alteration, structure, mineralization, and samples against a downloaded drill hole, with GPS surveys and 4K core photos. Everything queues locally and syncs when you're back in range. Field Work — Execute planned soil sampling and claim staking programs with GPS navigation. Quality-control bags (standards, blanks, duplicates) download to your device and fill by scanning a barcode — no more writing bag numbers by hand. Stations that still owe a field duplicate are marked right on the map. If a project runs more than one sampling program, pick which one you're working and the station list, map, and QC queue all narrow to match. Geologic Mapping — GPS-tied sketches, structure measurements, field notes, and photo capture, with your drill holes, samples, and claims rendered as reference layers underneath. Built for the field, not the office Full offline support — every workflow works with zero signal, syncs automatically once you're connected. Dark mode throughout, for early starts and late nights in camp. A live compass overlay for structural measurements (strike/dip). Configurable coordinate formats and high-accuracy GPS. View your other projects on the map as read-only reference context. Free to use — no subscription required. Create an account to protect your data and sync across devices; local-only projects work without one. Part of the geoDB platform — the same data your field crews collect syncs straight to your team's geoDB web account for QA/QC, reporting, and 3D visualization.
