PocketTransit

PocketTransit is a geological compass app for smartphones and tablets, and records the orientations of planes (strike and dip) and lines (trend and plunge), along with traverse angles and field site locations. Built for professional use by geologists, geophysicists, surveyors, and field/mining engineers, PocketTransit allows visualisation of captured data in tabular, map, and stereonet forms, and allows easy export of data to spreadsheet-compatible files. PocketTransit captures strike, dip, trend, plunge and location data simultaneously in one operation.
PocketTransit has a five-tab UI featuring compass, theodolite, project, stereonet, and map pages.

Compass page: displays compass azimuth, along with strike, dip, trend, plunge, and location (in latitude/longitude or UTM), and includes a clinometer display.

Theodolite page: displays horizontal and vertical angles along with location data.

Projects page: displays captured data organised in user-defined projects. Captured data can be reviewed, edited, and exported.

Stereonet page: displays planes, poles, and lineations on a Wulff stereonet. The stereonet image can be exported to file.

Map page: displays capture locations on a flickable and zoomable map. Standard strike / lineation symbology is used for plane and lineation data.

A more advanced version of PocketTransit
- PocketTransitPro
- is also available on Google Play and includes extra features such as custom plane and lineation types, photo records, email export, and rose-plot analysis.

Version 1.2.1 is a bug-fix release:

Version 1.2 is mainly a performance and bug-fix release which includes:
- improved rendering of stereonet graphics
- improved handling of capture sound

Very impressive. Well designed and user friendly system. Great for times when you're casually out without your Brunton and you need to take some dip and strike measurement.

Great app! Very useful and helps me double-check my Brunton measurements in the field. Nice work.

Hi. Maybe it's just me, but...shouldn't NE, NW SE and SW be reversed, in the compass? XD by the way the app idea is very good, and the stereonet-maker is useful. I too have problemes in calibrating the magnetic sensor...what do you mean with moving in the three axes? X Y Z? Shall i just translate the phone, or rotate it around the axes? Tusen takke!
