Thanks for the cool annotated screenshot. (I totally agree about Evernote!) I discuss a couple apps that I use in the field (and link to your article) from "iPhone Apps for Field Science."

We are releasing a whole suite of iPhone GIS apps with a geological slant. So far we have covered Arizona, California, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, with more to come (Colorado is next). More information at our web site. We also have some videos of the apps in action.

I use my iPhone 3G regularly in the field in suburban and rural areas of Virginia, where cell reception is good. It is an excellent resource for locating myself within the high-res photo imagery provided in the Maps app. I also use it as a data-collection backup for my Trimble, when satellite reception is poor. I’ve tested the accuracy of the iPhone assisted GPS and it is +/- 5 m, as good as the Trimble for mapping purposes.

I use the “Drop a pin” feature of the Maps app to collect data points and send them to myself in an email along with geologic notes. I also use the app “Locations” to collect geotagged photos in a running list, them send them all at once to my desktop in an email.
