Most photographers love the outdoors. When out and about, we do more than just snapping away. We are hikers, ecologists, bird watchers, botanists, geographers, hunters and much more. And some of us are geologists.
If you are a geologist wielding an iPhone, there’s a set of geologist applications covering various U.S. states. Published by Integrity Logic, each covers one state, such as Geology CA covering California.
Each app’s data set is included, so you don’t have to be connected to use the app. The data sets are based on the GIS (geographic information system). Using the iPhone’s GPS, it enables you to navigate a state and get a much better understanding of your surroundings, identify geological formations, mines, quarries, rivers, elevation estimates and more.
Since the data set is included, downloads are bigger than your normal iPhone download.
Included in each version are 28 layers, which can be combined and re-ordered in any desired way:
- states outlines
- the complete geological map from USGS
- terrain elevation
- bathymetry (ocean depth)
- USGS quadrangles
- faults
- plate boundaries
