GEOL-QMAPS Plugin

The core QGIS plugin supporting the GEOL-QMAPS digital geological mapping solution. Provides comprehensive tools for importing legacy field data, customizing mapping guidelines, synchronizing with QField packages, and managing field databases. Features include fuzzy logic data harmonization, pre- and post-fieldwork data management including spatial clipping and merging of databases. Latest version supports both QGIS 3.x and upcoming QGIS 4.0.

QGIS Stereonet

A fork of the QGIS stereonet plugin optimized for GEOL-QMAPS workflows. Plot structural data as poles, great circles, or rose diagrams directly from selected features. Supports generation-based coloring for multi-phase structural analysis. Latest version supports both QGIS 3.x and upcoming QGIS 4.0.

QField Compass-clinometer

Transform your mobile device into a geological compass-clinometer when using QField. Automatically captures azimuth, dip, dip direction, strike, plunge, and pitch using device sensors. Auto-fills orientation fields when creating new features in QField.
