Introduction FieldMove Clino is a digital compass-clinometer for data capture on smartphones.

Page 28: Digital Compass Calibration
We are reluctant to recommend specific devices to run FieldMove Clino, however there are significant variations in the quality of the components that are currently being used by the various manufacturers, and we feel strongly that we should make users aware of some of our recent findings.
Page 29 We have found that some devices do not correctly report inclination. This is obvious when a device is on a flat horizontal surface, yet FieldMove Clino still reports a dip. We believe this is due to components in the device not being seated properly, as we have tested other devices of the same make and model and not observed any problems.

Base maps can be loaded into the app as MBTiles files. Use iTunes to import the MBTiles file into FieldMove Clino. Base maps are added to a project from the Edit Base Maps option in the Map page. The active base map can be selected from the base map list and is indicated with a tick.
Page 31 All data can be viewed in the Notes & Images page, which can be opened from the Side Panel. In FieldMove Clino Pro data can be filtered and displayed on a stereonet. Data can also be viewed on the Map.
Page 32 Frequently Asked Questions How do I use FieldMove Clino offline? FieldMove Clino requires online connectivity for the basic maps (satellite or street views) and for accessing Dropbox. If you disable online connectivity, the map view will still work but will only show a basic grid in places where there is no cached data. Please note that activating airplane mode will also turn off the GPS.
Page 33: Our Experience
Our Experience Collecting data on folded Devonian sediment at Ardmore Point The following comments are based on our experience of testing FieldMove Clino with an iPhone 5 running iOS 7. Hardware Battery can last for a full field day (~8hours, with the GPS on but when other apps and data streaming are turned off).
Page 34 Our Experience Things to watch out for when mapping with a smartphone Make sure that you lock your iPhone when it is in your pocket. This will ensure that you don’t end up with ‘ghost’ readings while you’re en route to the next outcrop. 2.
