Hello Nick, love your content. I have a Question for you and all your geological community, Would you recommend a tape and compass survey instead of the mapping you show in your video?
I did some tape and compass mapping back before GPS was a thing. It was brutally slow and I spent more time looking at the compass than looking at rocks, but it was the only way to get reliable positions. Modern handheld GPS units generally have accuracy around 5m which is about the same as tape and compass but much faster and less prone to data entry errors. It's good enough for any exploration work. When you get to a development or mining stage you need 1m or better so it's time to switch to DGPS or traditional surveying.
Well done nick, I have question is the nomads need any software to add to be suitable for geological map? Is there any tutorial I can watch to learn how to use it?
I'm using Discover Mobile. Thete is a new version that runs on Android devices now, but I haven't upgraded because it requires MapInfo on an associated computer. A very expensive option.
My Nomads are old versions running Windows Mobile 6 operating system. Most of the new devices run Android. There is a new Android version of Discover Mobile, but you need a full paid license of MapInfo to install the workspaces that it uses. That is a very expensive option so I will probably move to something else when my old Nomads die.
@@arifrahmatullah487 I draw the interpreted geology polygons first, then I use the snap mode in MapInfo to draw the faults so they match all the geology boundaries precisely.
great piece of info
Thanks. I should do an updated version!
these are amazing videos, have you considered making a video/(s) on the use of rtp magnetics ?
Thanks very much. Geophysics really isn't my field, but I would be happy to work with someone who is an expert to make a video.

Good one
How were you able to get discover mobile onto your Nomad? I have a newer geo7x.

how to plot geological structures and make the boundaries of their distribution on a geological map?
Do you want to plot faults or structure measurement symbols?

How can we found this gps ? please help me
They are made by Trimble. This model is outdated, but there is a new version that runs Android operating system.
Hi, do you know Flow R software
No. What operating system does it run on?
@@GeologyUpSkill windows
amazing, how do nyou mapping? with a tablet? whats your name? please, i want to learn
The data recorder is an old Trimble Nomad running Windows mobile 6. The modern ones all run Android now so you can use your phone.
@@GeologyUpSkill thanks
@@GeologyUpSkill Can i ask about the software used?
@@MoviesNews-xn2eq The software on the mobile device is Discover Mobile. The GIS system on the Laptop is MapInfo Pro.
@@GeologyUpSkill Thank you
