Strike & Dip Compass App
Measure structural orientations directly from your phone. GeoKit's digital geological compass replaces traditional Brunton compasses and clinometers with a precise, easy-to-use interface designed for field geology.

Strike Measurement
Align your device with the bedding plane to capture the strike direction. The compass uses your phone's magnetometer for precise azimuth readings.
Dip Angle & Direction
Tilt your phone along the dip direction to measure the dip angle using the accelerometer. Both dip magnitude and dip direction are recorded automatically.
Save to Marker
Attach strike & dip data directly to geological markers on the map. Measurements are linked with GPS coordinates, photos, and field notes.
Why Use a Digital Geological Compass?
Traditional Brunton compasses are reliable, but they're also expensive, fragile, and require careful technique. A digital strike and dip compass app like GeoKit eliminates parallax errors, records measurements instantly, and ties every reading to a GPS location.
For geology students learning structural geology, the digital compass provides real-time feedback and reduces the learning curve. For professional field geologists, it speeds up data collection and eliminates manual transcription errors.
Every measurement is stored locally and can be exported as KML or GeoJSON — ready for QGIS, ArcGIS, or Google Earth without any additional conversion.
No parallax error — digital readings are consistent
Auto-linked to GPS coordinates and map markers
Export directly to KML/GeoJSON for GIS software
Works offline — no internet required in the field
100% free — no subscription or in-app purchases
