StraboField
Formally StraboSpot2
Free · Designed for iPad
StraboField is a powerful, all-in-one mobile app designed to streamline your geological fieldwork. Record observations, capture photos and sketches, collect orientation data, create geologic maps and stratigraphic sections — all from a single, map-centered platform.
Easily collect spatially referenced data using point, line, or polygon-based Spots. Work across multiple scales using nested Spots and high-resolution image basemaps. Designed by geologists, for geologists, StraboField supports workflows across subdisciplines including structural geology, sedimentology, petrology, volcanology, and geomorphology.
** Key Features: **
* Capture field data with photos, sketches, and notes
* Collect georeferenced orientation and spatial data
* Use custom or built-in basemaps offline
* Create multi-scale observations with nested Spots
* Organize and back up data locally or to StraboSpot.org
* StraboField is fully functional offline, making it ideal for remote fieldwork. Once online, your data can be synced to the StraboSpot digital data system at StraboSpot.org — an open- source platform supported by the National Science Foundation.

- Offline Maps — A scale indicator is now shown in the zoom level picker when downloading offline map tiles.
- Notebook Quick Actions — Geography, Metadata, and Close Notebook options have been added to the Spot/Sample Actions menu for faster navigation.
- Smarter Forms — Fields that are no longer relevant are automatically cleared when a controlling field value changes, keeping your data clean.
Performance
- Significantly reduced map re-renders for smoother panning and zooming, especially on projects with many spots.
- Improved rendering performance in the spots list and tag-related views.
- Fixed a performance issue in Nesting where thumbnail loading caused the entire page to re-render.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed invisible features when using image basemaps.
- Fixed missing point symbology on the web version after map load.
- Fixed map overlay tiles displaying at incorrect resolution.
- Fixed vertex dragging crash on edited geometries.
- Improved date field validation and date picker behavior.
- Fixed form initialization that could clear default values when switching spots.
- Fixed Strat Section intervals not validating correctly in the Add Interval modal.
- Fixed copying a spot incorrectly including its strat section reference.
- Fixed attributes being reordered unexpectedly when saving.
- Improved error messaging when a project fails to load.
