The document describes FieldMOVE Clino, a mobile app that allows users to collect geological data in the field using their smartphone as a digital compass and clinometer. The app allows users to measure orientations of planar and linear geological features, take notes and photos, and export collected data for integration with other mapping software. Key features include automatic positioning via GPS, editing of field projects, and display of data on stereonets and basemaps.

- 2. FieldMOVE Clino It is a digital compass-clinometerfor gathering geologicaldata on your smartphone. The app allowsyou to use your phone as a traditionalhand-heldbearingcompass, as well as a digitalcompass-clinometer for measuring and recording the orientationof planarand linear features in the field. The FieldMOVEClinoapp allowsyou to collect data ten times faster than with traditional methods. FieldMOVE Clino been designed and optimised for compact iPhone and Android smartphone devices. Summaryof features: Digital compass clinometerfor data capture on your smartphone User defined list of rock units or stratigraphy Digital notebookand camera within the app Import your own basemaps to work offline, or use onlinemap services Automatic positioningusing the GPS in your device or manual over-ride Easy editing of data and projects Expandedlibrary of symbols for planar and linear data Stereonet displayof geologicaldata
- 3. Draw contacts, faults and outcrop polygonson your chosen basemap (iOS only) Export your data as KMZ for integration with Google Earth FieldMOVEClinobeen designed and optimised for compact iPhone and Android smartphone devices, and will only work on a smartphone using one of these systems. There is currently no Windowsphone version of the Clino app.
- 4. APPLICATION LAYOUT This section provides an overview of the general layout of the FieldMoveapp and briefly describes its tools and features. When a new FieldMoveproject is opened, the following view is displayed. The default displaywhen a new FieldMoveproject is opened. Shown is the map view, along with the Location bar (top right) and Side Panel (left).
- 5. LOCATION BAR The Location Bar is situated above the map view, on the right hand side. It will display your current locationin lat/longformat. It is also used to turn the GPS on/off and locate your positionwithin the map view. SIDE PANEL The Side Panel is located to the left of the map view. It containsaccess to a number of pages that can be opened on selection. The pages are arranged in an order that reflects the typical workflow that a geologist would adopt when carrying out fieldwork. The Side Panel can be expanded by tapping in the top left. PROJECT PROPERTIES The Project Properties page containsdetailsof the active project. This includesthe name, creation date, declination, localitynaming set-up and a project description. In the Project Properties page, you can merge the active project with a second project. The active project can also be exported from here.
- 6. MAPS Use the Maps page to import basemaps in MBTile, GeoTIFF or osgEarth format. Alternatively,use the Mapspage to switch between satellite, road or terrain maps, which can be accessed providingyou have a validnetwork connection. COMPASS CLINO Use the Compass Clino page to take a bearing and record the orientationof planes and lineations. Localities and a stratigraphy, or list of rock units, can also be created on this page. DRAWING TOOL Use the Drawing Toolspage to digitize lines and polygonson the map. The line type, thickness, opacity and unit assignment can be set up for each line or polygon. Localities and a stratigraphy, or list of rock units, can also be created on this page. STEREONET Use the Stereonet page to plot orientationdata as poles and/orplanes on an equal area or equal angle stereonet. Data can be filtered by its assigned locality,unit or type.7
- 7. NOTEBOOK Use the Notebook page to create geo-referenced field notes, photos, map screenshots and sketches. The Notebook page will list all saved data (orientationmeasurements, line and polygon data, notes, photos, stereonet screen captures etc.) by locality. The Notebookpage also allows for data to be edited, moved and deleted if necessary. EXPORT Use the Export page to export the project to variousformats, includingthe .mve file format, which allows data to be imported straight into the MOVE software for model buildingand analysis. Extra options available from the Side Panel include: Exit Application Tap this button to exit FieldMove(Windows tabletsonly). Full Screen Mode Tap this button to enter into full screen mode (Windows tabletsonly). Exit Full Screen Mode Tap this button to exit full screen mode. This button will only be availableif you are in full screen mode (Windows tabletsonly).
- 8. Project Management Tap this button to open the Project Management window. This page lists all availableprojects that have been created in FieldMove. Each saved project can be opened from this page, new projects can be created or external projects can be imported. Settings Tap this button to open the Settings window. Settings relating to basemaps, units, coordinates,line joindistance, compass clino mode, sensors and cache reset can be changed from here. Help Tap this button to open the FieldMovehelp pages.
