Digital Field Mapping

FieldMOVE brings digital geological mapping to tablets, combining intuitive data capture with powerful 3D model integration in MOVE. Designed for larger touchscreen devices, it extends the functionality of FieldMOVE Clino into a map-centric workflow, enabling more detailed interpretation and field-based modelling.

Once sufficient data is collected, users can create geological boundaries, fault traces and lithological polygons directly on their basemap using precision drawing tools, including a virtual mouse for fine control. All linework is fully georeferenced, ensuring seamless transfer of spatial data into downstream workflows.

Projects can be easily exported in multiple formats:

• MOVE file for direct use in MOVE modelling and analysis

• CSV for tabular data workflows

• KMZ for visualisation in Google Earth

• Interactive editing of geological linework

• Digital compass-clinometer for structural measurements

• Sketching directly on field photographs

• Offline basemap support (MBTiles and GeoTIFF)

• Cached online map services for offline use

• Automatic GPS-based positioning with manual override

• Customisable rock unit and stratigraphy lists

• Digital notebook and integrated camera

• Stereonet display for structural data analysis

• Expanded symbol library for planar and linear features

• Multi-project support with easy switching and editing

• Freehand drawing and precision mapping via virtual mouse

FieldMOVE is built using Qt (the same platform as MOVE) and is designed for tablet use only.

iOS (iPad & iPad mini)

Requires iOS 8 or later. Recommended: iPad 4 or newer, or iPad mini 2 or newer. WiFi + Cellular models are required for GPS functionality.

Android tablets

Requires Android 4.0 or later. Devices must include a magnetometer, gyroscope and accelerometer for full orientation support.

Run fast, field-scale economic evaluations with integrated NPV, IRR and development forecasting. RESOLVE enables engineers to assess operational strategies and make faster, data-driven investment decisions.

Faster field data capture

FieldMOVE Clino is designed to significantly speed up geological data collection—up to 10x faster than traditional methods—while maintaining accuracy and consistency.

A free version is available, with a $5 USD upgrade unlocking additional geological symbols, stereonet plotting, and (iOS only) the ability to draw lines and polygons directly on basemaps in the field.

• Digital compass-clinometer for structural measurements

• Geo-referenced notes and in-app camera

• User-defined rock unit and stratigraphy lists

• Offline basemap support (or online map services)

• GPS-based positioning with manual override

• Editable projects with easy data management

• Export to MOVE and CSV formats

• KMZ export for Google Earth integration

• Expanded structural symbol library

• Stereonet display of geological data

• iOS: draw contacts, faults and polygons on basemaps

FieldMOVE Clino is designed for smartphones only and is optimised for iOS and Android devices. There is no Windows phone version.

iOS

Requires iPhone 5s or later running iOS 12+. Supports devices from iPhone 5s through to iPhone 15 Pro Max (A7 chip or later recommended).

Android

Requires Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or later. Devices must include an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer for full functionality. Supports ARM 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
