TCallens Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just found a new iPhone app I thought people might could make use of. It's called iGeoLog, and it allows you to build cutaways and make notes in just a few minutes. You can also use location services to mark the exact spot the log was built. The app allows you to email and save the logs. Great tool if you ask me. Here's a very simple example that I just made up to illustrate.....you can change the dimensions and contours to whatever fits your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Why, when I was young, we had to draw on the back of a shovel with a charred stick! Uphill, both ways! Very cool; thanks!

Auspex Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It just hit me that this should dovetail with other GIS functions...

TCallens Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 LOL, I had to use map pencils in my geology classes, totally wish I could have build it on an app and emailed my assignment. My elbow gets worn out when I color too much, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgrilusHunter Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hmm ... sounds interesting, checking it out now. Thanks for posting! Auspex, I agree this will mesh well with GIS applications, I sense a kriging analysis in my future very soon.

trilobiteruss Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Awesome, wish i had this when I was doing geological mapping for 20 plus years, but then there was not an iPhone during much of that time... oh well. Great application... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
