XYZworks Triangulate 1.06 APK
This is useful for reporting or locating wildfires, for landowners, firefighters, land surveyors, boaters,pilots and anyone wanting to know the coordinates of a remote pointwithout going there: Hikers, geocachers, scientific research,rangers, search and rescue, amateur radio direction finding (ARDF,transmitter hunting), location of radio tagged animals. No cellphone coverage needed! No data plan needed, except if you choose toemail the info to someone.Triangulate uses your built-in GPS and compass on a camera viewto get 2 points and bearings from each. It then computes thelocation you are pointing at. The 3 points and lines connectingthem can then be displayed with your choice of mapping program(using KML files) , online or offline, for both mobile and desktopcomputers. This makes it easy to determine which road is best toget to the computed remote point. Here is a sample map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=208093473308607160239.0004b82ddcc76689ba82a"I saw a real use for this app to save lives, property, andnature since I almost died when my 2 houses burned down in awildfire. Firefighters took hours to determine where the fire waslocated and how to get there, because the calls to 911 were notgiving enough info.Optimized for phones and tablets.Phone reception or Internet access is not required to use theapp. Designed so you can have someone call, radio, or email toreport their GPS coordinates and their compass bearing for the 2ndpoint. If the other person has the Triangulate app they can easilyhit 1 button to collect, and 1 button to email their location andbearing. 1 point and bearing is enough info to report a wildfire to911, but if you get another bearing from >1000 feet (~300m) awayits even better since the app can compute a location for the remotepoint.Firefighters who have this app can easily take the data frommultiple reports, even enter data from those who don't have thisapp, using an old fashioned compass or handheld GPS, to locate thefire much easier and less error prone than the old method ofgetting out paper maps, compass, and plotting the positions anddrawing lines to find the intersection.Designed for international use: distances in feet or meters.Displays your GPS coordinates, number of satellites in view, andthe accuracy of your position. Automatically computes thedeclination at your location to use True North (more accurate)compass bearings. You can use an old fashioned compass and enterthe bearings.It has an option to choose between using the camera sight forthe compass (default), or sight across the face of the phone to getbetter accuracy for phones where you have a small camera or poorvisibility.Here is a link to the help instructions included in the app, tosee more details about how it works:http://www.xyzworks.com/triangulateHelp.htmYou can repeat and get bearings from more than 2 points and viewthem as overlays on a map too. That's why it saves the data as KMLfiles so you can save as many bearings as you like and view them onthe phone or desktop machine using many map programs, or email themto view with a bigger screen on desktop google maps.See XYZworks entire line of land surveying, data collection, andconstruction software at:www.xyzworks.com
