Rocklogger (v. 1.71) Разработано RockGecko |
Rocklogger is a geological tool for measuring the orientation of rock outcrops. It uses the phone's compass and orientation sensors to measure dip & dip direction, or dip & strike, in a single click.
GPS and magnetic field information can also be saved, along with details on the rock plane & type.
Key features:
-Log dip & strike or dip & dip direction by placing the phone on the rock/plane in any orientation (using the rotating symbol and quick help features as guides)
-Plot logs on a map, with correct dip/strike symbols
-Plot poles or planes from logs on a stereonet, and interpret by touching the plot to find trends and intersections (paid only)
-Log the ambient magnetic field
-Launch the camera to take photos while logging. Notes and GPS data are saved to the log file. Photos are stored with the log file, and are automatically attached when you send a log via email from the browser screen
The log is saved to a .csv file, which can be sent to Excel / Mapinfo / etc for interpreting. Paid versions can also export KML files for use in Google Earth (desktop version).
Taking the strike and dip of outcrops with a compass / declinometer usually takes a few minutes per rock. With Rocklogger, many measurements of an outcrop can be taken in seconds (in any orientation). It also works upside-down, eg for logging overhang in a mine.
The evaluation version is limited to saving 3 records per 3 minutes, and has the stereonet plotter disabled. Rocklogger Unlocker is available for purchase to disable the evaluation version restrictions.

[2012-09-29] A Google User: Excellent app I wish I had this last week, when the client was spending too long under an unstable wall taking dodgy readings with a plastic Suunto. Oh, just a note to developers on the Quick Help. Help should tell us how to use the app. I think anyone who downloads this app would already know what dip and dip direction mean. Thanks. |

[2012-09-02] A Google User: Azimuth / strike inaccurate Dip measurements are very precise, but azimuth or strike values differ a lot, hence cannot be used. The way you hold the phone (landscape vs portrait) seems to make a big difference. Tested on a Nexus S. |

[2012-08-17] A Google User: Get this up ya! This saved me time recently when I did field work in the blue ranges. |
|
[2012-06-29] A Google User: great but .... great app but on my Atrix the tick marks for dip direction are facing the wrong way? |
|
[2012-06-17] A Google User: This is an amazing app. Can't wait to get out and use this propertly. Though a few instructions would be good. |
|
[2012-06-06] A Google User: Had some problems |
|
[2012-04-14] A Google User: Excellent I Just bought an android coz this stuff |
|
[2012-02-20] A Google User: Lifesaver Indispensable app for any geologist! Saved my life during my mapping field trip. Thank you so much Rockgecko!!! |
|
[2012-02-09] A Google User: Awesome Excellent app... Helps a lot on field works. |
|
[2011-11-24] A Google User: Good simple software Thanks! |
|
[2011-11-16] A Google User: The app I needed.. |
|
[2011-09-02] A Google User: Great app, installed it the morning of our geomechanics field trip, by the end of the day wed given up on the normal compass as too slow and laborious |
|
[2011-08-19] A Google User: If you're a geologist, don't even hesitate to add this invaluable tool to your kit. PS ability to record magsus data will make iphone geos jealous. |
|
[2011-07-21] A Google User: Great app but not yet good enough to replace compass clino. All the app needs is a better averaging of compass direction. |

[2011-07-19] A Google User: Great app for rock engineers. I like the photo number tagging idea, but would also add more joint info data like JRC/ RMR worksheets. |

[2011-06-30] A Google User: This App is Amazing I recently purchased a german made CLAR compass which measures Dip and Dip Direction. It cost $2700 AUD. Wish I had seen this app first! This app has very acceptable level of accuracy for my job (Geotechnical Engineer) and also has a very nice mode where you can plot your measurments on a satelite view of the area. Taking measurements is also many times faster than using a traditional geological comapss. This App is Really Impressive !! |

|
[2011-06-29] kam: working great |
|
[2011-06-24] A Google User: Latest updates are great, keep em coming, great app |
|
[2011-06-24] A Google User: Stereonets A logical development would be for stereonets to be included in the Rocklogger software bundle enabling quick determinations of planar and linear trends of the collected data. When stereonets,rose diagrams, maps and image capabilities are added it will achieve a 5 star rating! |
|
[2011-06-24] Joe: Latest updates are great, keep em coming, great app |
|
[2011-06-20] A Google User: Great app for geologists! As a geologist, I was thrilled to find this app, turning my Droid2 into a quick electronic strike & dip measurement tool. I wouldn't recommend using any phone compass for professional measurements yet, but this app is great for making quick measurements that so far seem pretty good. The updates have been significant improvements that reflect good quality. Keep up the great work!! |

[2011-05-06] A Google User: Tentative Review I also agree with Jesse about being able to take pictures. More than one would be nice too. Also, if you could make a function to switch between quadrant and azimuth, that would be awesome. Also, I've been playing around, but it seems to be giving me some wonky readings. I need to check with a brunton, but I'll let you know. It could be my phone too. We'll see. Great app, though! |

[2011-04-19] A Google User: Good app. I agree with Jesse. Add photo (with high-res) feature is important. I will switch to full version when the function be added. |
