What's New
This update brings bug fixes and performance tweaks to keep FieldMove Clino running smoothly on your device.
Version 3.0.17 · · 22.3 MBLatest
The latest release focuses on stability under the hood, refining how the app handles measurements and data capture in the field. If you use FieldMove Clino regularly, these improvements help ensure reliable performance when you need it most.
Version 3.0.6 · · 17.7 MB
FieldMove Clino transforms your computer into a geological data management hub where measurements, photographs, and field notes collected on your phone integrate smoothly into your desktop workflow. This compass-clinometer app captures strike-and-dip angles, planar and linear orientations, and georeferenced images directly in the field, then syncs that data to your PC for analysis, export, and long-term storage. Running FieldMove Clino on PC lets you organize, visualize, and refine your structural measurements on a full screen while keeping your phone free for active data collection.
FieldMove Clino bridges mobile field work and desktop analysis. You gather orientation data and photographs on your phone using the device's sensors and GPS, then move your project on your PC to organize findings, perform statistical analysis on stereonets, and prepare data for publication or further modeling. This workflow keeps your field tool mobile while giving you the processing power and screen real estate of a desktop environment.
Core Measurement Capabilities
The app functions as a digital compass-clinometer, capturing the orientation of geological features with precision. On your PC, you can review and manage these measurements, filter data by unit or locality, and export in formats such as CSV, KMZ, or MOVE files. Support for store multiple measurements quickly means larger, more statistically robust datasets compared to hand measurements alone.
Data Collection and Storage on Your Phone
In the field, FieldMove Clino records:
- Strike and dip angles for planar features, adjusting for device orientation during capture
- Plunge and trend angles for linear structural elements
- Georeferenced photographs tied to specific measurement points
- Text notes and locality descriptions paired with each observation
- GPS coordinates for all data points when enabled
- Support for offline basemaps so you collect data without cellular coverage
Desktop Analysis and Export Workflow
Once you transfer your project on your PC, FieldMove Clino data integrates into professional geological software. The app's export options (MOVE, CSV, and KMZ formats) allow you to open your field dataset directly in applications like Google Earth or import into FieldMove for advanced structural analysis. On your desktop, you can view stereonets showing equal-area or equal-angle projections, examine statistical patterns in your orientation data, and prepare polished maps and cross-sections for reports or presentations.
Offline Mapping and Long-Term Organization
Because FieldMove Clino supports both online Google Maps and offline basemaps, you can pre-load topographic or geological base layers on your phone before heading to remote field sites. On your PC, you maintain a permanent repository of georeferenced basemaps, exported CSV tables, and project archives, ensuring you retain complete records across multiple field seasons. This desktop storage model protects against phone loss and simplifies collaboration with colleagues who need access to your structural data.
Stereonet Analysis for Structural Interpretation
The app includes a stereonet tool built into the mobile interface, but desktop integration unlocks the real power: exporting your full measurement suite and performing comparative statistical analysis across different rock units or localities. When FieldMove Clino for Windows desktop, you can run batch exports, organize data by formation or structural domain, and feed measurements into advanced structural geology software without manual re-entry or transcription errors.
How to Download and Install FieldMove Clino for PC or MAC:
Select an Android emulator: There are many free and paid Android emulators available for PC and MAC, few of the popular ones are Bluestacks, Andy OS, Nox, MeMu and there are more you can find from Google.

FAQ
Can I use FieldMove Clino on a Windows PC or Mac?
FieldMove Clino is designed as a mobile app for Android phones. However, you can export your field data to CSV, MOVE, or KMZ files on your computer after collecting measurements on your phone, then open those files in desktop applications like Google Earth or FieldMove for further analysis and storage.
Will my GPS locations export correctly when I transfer data to my PC?
GPS functionality depends on your phone's settings and compatibility. Some users have experienced issues where GPS toggling state does not sync reliably between measurements and the locality map. Verify that GPS tracking is enabled before your field session and check exported CSV files on your PC to confirm coordinates were captured.
What happens if my phone crashes or is lost after collecting data?
Having your data exported and stored on a desktop computer protects your measurements from phone loss. Export your datasets regularly to your PC using the CSV or KMZ export options, so you maintain permanent backups separate from the mobile device.
Can I import my own maps into FieldMove Clino before going to the field?
Yes, FieldMove Clino supports offline basemaps letting you load georeferenced topographic or geological maps onto your phone in advance. Download and prepare your basemaps on your computer, then transfer them to your phone before heading to the field site where you may not have cell coverage.
How do I combine field data from multiple team members on a single PC?
Each team member exports their project data from FieldMove Clino as CSV or KMZ files and transfers those exports to a shared computer. From your desktop, you can then import and merge multiple exported datasets into FieldMove or other geological software for centralized management and analysis.
Do photographs I take in the field save automatically with my measurements?
Photographs are captured on your phone during field sessions, but some users have reported that photos do not reliably attach to individual measurement points or export with georeference data. After a field day, transfer your images to your PC and verify the georeference CSV on your computer lists the correct file associations before archiving.
