Oakland, CA March 3, 2010 -- Integrity Logic today announced the release of Geograph MO, the latest version of the popular GIS (Geographic Information System) for the iPhone/iPod platform, covering the state of Missouri.
This release features 42 layers of geographic data which can be combined and merged.
"We've been amazed by the great response from our community of users", said Max Tardiveau, founder of Integrity Logic. "GIS really comes alive when it's in your hands and in the field."
Like its 22 sister applications already covering 25 states, Geograph MO contains a wide array of data layers:
- geological map from the U.S. Geological Service
- public land ownership (local, state, federal)
- states outlines
- land elevation from NASA
- old and active faults
- all earthquakes over 3.0 magnitude, and seismic risk levels
- over 6,000 named features (summits, tunnels, cliffs, bridges, etc...)
with link to USGS web site for each feature
- hydrologic units
- ecological regions from EPA
- counties with link to Census data
- UTM zones, township and range, USGS quadrangles
- congressional districts with links to representatives' web sites
- urban areas, hydrological features
- cities, roads and railroad tracks
- active mines and quarries
- zip codes
- potassium/argon dates
- surficial material
- main aquifers
- over 12,000 mineral resource data points with link to USGS web site
for each resource
This release introduces a number of additional layers, which can be
downloaded from the application:
- state assembly districts with link to the representatives' web sites
- state senate districts with link to the senators' web sites
- school districts
- cities and villages with link to Census Bureau's statistics
- town and city limits
- landmark points and areas
- airports with link to FFA web site for each airport

details page
- flood insurance rate maps (FIRM) from FEMA (premium content)
- national parks with links to the NPS details pages
- railroad crossings
- historic places from the National Registry
- streets
Geograph MO is a completely self-contained application, which does not
require any Internet access. This is critical for anyone who needs
access to this information when out of cellular range, in the field.
Geograph MO can use the iPhone's built-in GPS and the iPod's location
service, and can also capture high-definitions maps, which can be
retrieved from the device's photo album.
The application is available immediately in the Apple App Store and is
priced at $4.99.
