Now thoroughly veering off the topic of GeoPads but too cool not to share...graduate student Jozi Pearson put together an excellent resource walking through the procedures to go from point cloud data (lidar or SfM .las file) to a 3D print (.stl file) using free open-source softwares. To demonstrate this she took some of the 2005 B4 Project lidar point cloud data for Wallace Creek (world famous example of strike-slip fault offsets on the central San Andreas Fault) hosted by OpenTopography, added vertical exaggeration and cut the data along the fault to create a valuable teaching resource to demonstrate the interaction between faults and landscapes.

These have been communicated to Midland Valley Feb 2017.

• linework frequently shifts location after drawing and becomes more "jagged" (not as mapped)
   
• sometimes specific units are not selectable in compass or drawing menu (seems to be related to the specific position in the list)
   
• GPS automatically turning off for no obvious reason (requires FM to be closed, reopened, then GPS checked back on)
   
• miscellaneous crashes, especially for data-rich projects
   
• in KMZ exports dotted lines become solid (perhaps this can't be fixed?)
   
• if you try to edit an exported KMZ in Google Earth (a line for example) it often crashes Google Earth

These have been communicated to Midland Valley Feb 2017.

• Add a "force compass calibration" option. This would be excellent!
   
• Currently only raster data import support through map layers. Possible to import vector data? Like from a KMZ? I'm sure this is a big ask...
   
• Importing data from another FieldMove project, for example from another iPad in field via AirDrop, would be amazing!
   
• Support for GPS location accuracy down to 1m or less
   
• Compatibility with BadElf GPS (capable of cheap GPS location to 1m accuracy)
   
• Compatibility with GaiaGPS (this program can very easily and efficiently download high resolution mbtile files of many topo and aerial imagery for offline use; if there was an easy way to import these layers into FieldMove projects it would greatly improve the workflow)
   
• Support for higher zoom levels (e.g. 22; important for detailed mapping such as lidar data)
   
• Ability to rename default project folder (not "project1"; makes it a little harder to find when exporting)
   
• Move camera shutter button to the side (students note it is in the way/awkward in present location)
   
• Black/dark unit colors should have white text in lists (currently are unreadable as black on black)
   
• Make it easier/more obvious to get back to map from "Help"
   
• Please add a "cleared to update" page to your website. This would essentially say whether it is safe to update to the latest iOS version Apple releases or if glitches have been identified (e.g. the frequently garbled text issue) and people should wait for a FieldMove update before updating iOS.
