GeoBaroud – Ultra-precise, multi-format location tool ??

GeoBaroud offers advanced real-time geolocation by fully leveraging your smartphone's capabilities (GPS, accelerometer, and magnetometer). Designed to meet the needs of field professionals—firefighters, HBE managers, firefighters, foresters, sailors, and orienteering enthusiasts—GeoBaroud lets you know your exact position and instantly convert it into three essential formats:

DFCI Code – The French location system, specially adapted for forest fire management. The application automatically detects the DFCI square in which you are located and specifies the corresponding subzone through a detailed analysis of the dynamic grid.

Decimal Degrees (DD) – A modern, universal, and digital format for quick reading and optimal international compatibility.

Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS) – The traditional, detailed format ideal for field surveys or demanding operational reports.

Key Features

• Real-time geolocation: GeoBaroud continuously uses your GPS to accurately display latitude, longitude, and position accuracy. The application dynamically calculates the distance between your actual position and the target point, displayed in meters or kilometers depending on the context.

• Automatic multi-format conversion: Whether you use automatic location mode or manually enter your coordinates, GeoBaroud instantly converts your position between DFCI, DD, and DMS formats, providing complete flexibility during your operations.

• Interactive visualization in the DFCI grid: A dynamic map of the DFCI system is displayed with a grid and a precisely positioned crosshair. You can see not only the 2 km × 2 km square you are in, but also the sub-zone determined by your exact location.

• Orientation and azimuth calculation: Using your phone's sensors, the app determines your orientation and displays a dynamic arrow indicating the direction of the target and its azimuth, facilitating quick identification of the direction relative to the target.

• Instant sharing and opening in mapping applications: Send your position (along with its conversions) via SMS, WhatsApp, or any other messaging service. Open your location with a single click in your favorite mapping application (Google Maps, Waze, Earth, etc.).

• Interactive input modes: Choose to let GeoBaroud automatically detect your position ("locate" mode) or manually enter your coordinates in DFCI, DD, or DMS ("search" mode). The interface adapts to guide you and ensure accurate and reliable conversion.
