FieldMove Clino

FieldMove Clino is a digital compass-clinometer app that transforms your Android smartphone into a professional field mapping instrument for geologists and earth scientists. Designed for fieldwork efficiency, it combines GPS location tracking with orientation sensor technology to capture precise structural measurements directly from the field.

Measure planar and linear features with confidence using your phone as both a traditional bearing compass and a high-precision clinometer. Unlike manual methods, FieldMove Clino enables rapid data collection of multiple measurements, ensuring your geological datasets achieve statistical validity that manual surveys struggle to match. Whether you're mapping fracture orientations, bedding planes, or lineations, you capture data at field speed without returning to the office for processing.

Work independently of internet connectivity with full offline mapping support. Import your own georeferenced basemaps and collect structural data in remote locations where connectivity is unreliable. When you're online, leverage Google Maps integration for seamless navigation and context. Your captured measurements include georeferenced digital photographs and text notes, creating a complete record tied directly to location.

Analyze structural patterns immediately in the field using equal area or equal angle stereonet displays. Perform basic statistical analysis on your measurements in real time, allowing you to identify data gaps and adjust your survey strategy without waiting for lab work. An expanded symbol library lets you customize how planar and linear features are represented, ensuring your data captures site-specific classification schemes.

Export your fieldwork seamlessly into professional analysis environments. FieldMove Clino supports MOVE, CSV, and KMZ formats, enabling direct import into FieldMove, Move, or Google Earth for further interpretation and integration with regional datasets. Your field-collected data flows directly into your existing geological workflows without manual transcription or format conversion.

FieldMove Clino is purpose-built for smartphones—the optimal form factor for one-handed field operation with gloved hands or in harsh conditions. The mobile-first design prioritizes speed and reliability in challenging environments where tablets prove impractical.

Use FieldMove Clino to establish professional-grade structural databases from your field campaigns, replacing tedious manual notation with digital capture that's faster, more accurate, and immediately ready for statistical analysis. This geology app combines the familiarity of traditional compass work with the power of digital data collection and instant field analysis.
