Description
US GEOLOGY is one of the twelve chapters of The National Atlas of the United States® which was coordinated and lead by USGS, this is the effort of more than 20 Federal agencies. The other layers are, Agriculture, Biology, Boundaries, Climate, Environment, Government, History, Map Reference, People, Transportation and Water. Geobyte is planning to produce these Chapters in future.
In this volume we have incorporated 46 layers of vector information available at The National Atlas of the United States® Website. These include Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Geologic Map, Mineral Operation, Magnetic Field, Waterways, County Boundaries and many more.
Detailed Geologic Maps (scale of 1:500,000 or larger) and Faults, from Open-File Reports of USGS of 48 States are also included.
The Legend or Key for each layer has been designed in the way that one can select all or select specific units from the legend and generate the map of particular interest. For example you can generate map with only Cretaceous Sedimentary rocks and only earthquakes of certain magnitude.
The units on the map can be identified by long tap on the map.
With the GPS capability of the system the location on the ground is known and you can add, edit and save notes on the map.The distance between two points and the area of polygon can also be calculated.
All the layers can be displayed in both Mercator and Lambert Equal-Area Projections.
There is no need to have access to WIFI, 3G or 4G Data Network to use this app. All the data are saved in your device.

Eriptron,
Agreed, not ready for prime time
Zoom is awful! Takes three, four or more tries. Uses non-intuitive map controls. Moving map is jerky. I spent so much time fighting the user interface I finally decided it's not worth the frustration. I think the developer must be posting the good reviews.
Ex. The map navigation on my iPad Air 1G is way over sensitive and constantly either undershoots or overshoots where you're trying to navigate to. Right there makes trying use the app a real pain.

Skahroba,
Very Unfair to say unworkable and Unusable
I bought the app and I find it very usable and one to work perfectly well. I have noticed when it comes to zooming there are issues that need to be sorted, however with a bit of patience you can zoom to wherever you like. One thing to remember the maps are generated on the fly from millions of vector data and they are not images, zooming in this case is very different. I am amazed how fast 100 megabyte file of elevation contours are generated. The user interface is very basic and simple but works perfectly. Features like calculating distances, area and adding the notes are very important to have. I have not seen any other app related to geology like this. Price is incredible . I recommend it and give it 4 star.
HrAlb,
Unusable on older devices
Zooming moves the centerpoint, usually shifting the area of interest right off the screen. Dragging to get back to the area of interest requires experience and talent - my current theory is that a long touch, followed by a slow drag, keeping the touch until the map shows up, may help.
On an iPhone 4s, that's pretty much the end of the story. On an iPad mini 2, zooming and dragging are workable, but not great. Makes me wonder if the app is redrawing the entire world-space, instead of just the view-window.
Vector maps can perform better than typical raster-tile maps, so being vector is no excuse. Nor would that explain the awful UI, nor the non-sticky settings.
The only explanations I can think of are inexperienced programmers and no respect for users.
Needed fixes -
- Zoom centered on screen or between pinch touchpoints
- Turning on location services should provide an option to center map at location (duh!)
- Sticky settings
So it looks like until the developers get their act together, I can't use this on the 64gb 4s I intended, but only on a 16gb device that doesn't really have room for it.
Sigh.

Nasbagh,
Great Application
I was impressed with the first version, now this version is even better and accessible on iPhone makes it a much more valuable tool especially not requiring Wifi or phone data for use. Great accumulation of valuable data and unique features. You can make any map by selecting geological units you are interested. Brings great level of information to your finger tip. I give it 5 stars.
Stretchedpebble,
Unworkable unusable
The positive reviews must be from relatives and friends. This is a complete waste without reworking the zoom capabilities.
This is a terrible app. I wasted $5. Very generalized geologic map is essentially useless.
If you load a more detailed state geologic map, there is no way to zoom in enough to see any detail. Zooming in shifts area of interest off of the screen! This is amateurish work. There is no way to center on the gps location! Really! I've never seen a gps capable app without this simple feature.
What is worse is the fact that it is literally impossible to zoom into a specific location. So, you can see where you are in the northeast US, but can never get to a particular state. This is the worst iPad navigation I've seen.
Do not waste your money or time on this app.

Fowl Hunting,
Don't waste your time it is a very frustrating app
Terrible app unless you want to know what's going on on the other side the country because when you turn on location services it takes you 10 minutes locate the map in the center of the screen so you can see it
And don't try to turn on later are you going to start all over

Geologist20000,
Waste of money for serious user
Zooming in changes the centerpoint. This makes the application unusable because a small zoom scale requires hundreds of swipes to return to the area of interest. Waste of money for a serious user. Avoid at any price until issue is fixed.
se7rover,
Awful
Dont get this. Seriously. Im insane about geologic maps. Im insane with hunting rocks. This is useless. The information is there but the amount of frustration and time it takes to access pertinent data makes this not a viable tool in any way. Paper maps. Technology is crap.
KVaha,
Great update!
Excellent layering capabilities. Significant improvement in zooming functionality. Looks amazing on both the iPad and iPhone.
Kefalafel,
Great idea; bad app!
This could have been a great resource, but poorly designed navigation makes it unusable. The user can't zoom to a particular location, because the map doesn't maintain center.
