Building great tools starts with understanding the work being done. For a mobile GIS app developer it’s important to get out into the field and see what using your product is really like, where it brings delight, and how it could improve. In our quest to be the best field data collection app, our general manager Mike Roncone had the opportunity to do just that with the help of excellent hosts Mike Darin of the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries and Scott Bennett of the U.S. Geological Survey. In June they lead us through a one-day field trip in the Columbia River Gorge inspired by GSA’s Field Guide 62, showing off the ways Touch GIS enhances and simplifies their fieldwork as well as the ways it could be even better. Their expert knowledge of Geology and their impeccable teaching ability is a real privilege to receive. Thanks again Mike and Scott, your feedback and guidance are invaluable and improvements are on their way!
