GeoFieldBook is designed for use in structural geology field mapping projects as a complement or replacement for the traditional paper field notebook. The App integrates the iPad's GPS, camera, and data management capabilities to allow geologists to record structural and formation information, automatically log geo-location data, link images to each record, input pre-defined formation names for different mapping areas, and then export the field measurements and notes to spreadsheet files for easy integration into digital display and analysis software.

Record types currently supported (more are coming)
•Bedding
•Contacts
•Faults
•Joints
•Other (generic entries)

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)

A major advantage of using this application is easy transfer of the data records into spatial organization programs, or geographic mapping software, as well as spreadsheet programs for data management and processing.
