Introduction
Caution
Important safety note.
Definitions
A glossary of terms used in the app and their definitions in the
context of FieldMove Clino.
Workflows
A quick run down of how to navigate through the features of
FieldMove Clino.
Location
How to operate your phones GPS effectively and select your
location manually.
Conventions
A guide to the conventions used in the app.
Data
An explanation of how to export data, the data types that
FieldMove Clino records, and how to import data into other
software applications.
Importing maps
How to import your georeferenced map into FieldMove Clino.
Our Experience
Battery life, performance and checks.
System requirements
Minimum platform requirements and other available platforms.
When you start up FieldMove Clino for the very first time, you will see
the help pages (below, left). From then on, a hand-bearing compass
will appear (below, right). The instructions for using FieldMove Clino
as a hand-bearing compass can be found here.
Everyone heading into the hills needs to learn how to read a map, and
be able to navigate effectively with a paper map and traditional magnetic
compass, especially in poor visibility.
Midland Valley will accept no liability or loss, resulting from the use or
misuse of this product.
Localities
Localities are a way of grouping data, much like you would in
a field notebook, and are up to you to define. Localities can be
applied to a field station, an outcrop, or you can apply a new
locality for each day in the field.
Notes
Notes are a georeferenced description of anything you wish,
such as a notable change in vegetation. This is akin to the notes
you take while traversing in a field notebook.
Comments
These are linked to specific measurements, for example describing
in detail the surface you have taken a dip measurement from.
Project
A project is a set of readings for an area. When exporting data
each project is exported individually.

FieldMove Clino uses your Android smartphones inbuilt GPS unit for
two tasks:
Finding your location when taking a reading
Showing where you are on the map
If you tap the grey crosshair, your phones GPS becomes idle and
the crosshair appears hollow. While GPS will still be obtaining
your location, it will not be used for saving data. GPS will be
reactivated when you tap the hollow crosshair, and the black
crosshair will reappear.
If you manually add your own location, by tapping the current lat/long
value in the top bar, automatic updates stop and the last received
GPS position shows on the map as a blue dot. Your current data
location is shown by the red pin. If you tap the hollow crosshair it will
turn on the GPS and jump you to your current location on the map.
Deleting data
Deleting a locality
FieldMove Clino records planar data as dip and dip azimuth, and linear
data as plunge, plunge azimuth.
The app exports the data directly as a .mve (Move) file, which means
you can open your project directly in Move and start to interpret and
validate your model in 3D and back through time. You can also view
your model using FieldMove or our free MoveViewer.
Photos cannot be exported as CSV files. Instead the images are stored
as PNG files in the CSV project folder. The geographic location of
each photo can be found in the Image CSV file, along with the name
of the file, the bearing and any notes that have been added.
You can import your own maps into FieldMove Clino. For example,
you can import the following types:
Geological
Topographical
Survey
Geophysical
Any other georeferenced image
You will need to have a georeferenced image file of your map. Common
formats for this include geotiff, jpeg2, kml etc.
Make sure you choose to tile your map at a resolution that is suitable
for the scale of mapping that you are performing. The maximum zoom
level is set when creating the MBTiles file. High zoom levels result in
much bigger file sizes so be wary of producing files that are too big
for your devices storage capability.
In terms of battery life, if you are mapping from 9am - 5pm, with a full
battery at the start of the day, we have found that we have 25 to 30%
of the battery life remaining at the end of the day.
When your phone is locked, the GPS will become inactive and will
not drain the battery. You will need to reopen FieldMove Clino to
reactivate the GPS.
5. Take care to check that you have made the right lithology
and structure type choices before hitting the Save button. It is
very easy to collect incorrectly classified data, which cannot be
used later (e.g. you have recorded a cleavage measurement as
bedding or vice-versa).
