iQuakeLite™ displays the latest quakes graphically using heatmaps. The map and colored dots will immediately tell you where the latest quakes happened by their location on the map, how big they are by the size of the spot, and when this happened by tapping on the dot to see the details.
The bottom tool bar allows you also to display a scrolling list with detailed information about the most significant recent events. This list will be improved in a future release and allow you to get even more information from sites like USGS.
Features
Map
The Map displays a view of the world with colored spots indicating the position of all recent earthquakes.
A red dot mean last 24H, Orange 48H and Yellow older than that. The size of the dot and fuzziness show if it is a small quake. The size of the dot is proportional to the magnitude, a fuzzy dot represents an isolated case but dots will become solid as quakes accumulate in the same region.
In the map above for example you can see that South America in Chile got a major accumulation of quakes in the last 48H plus a new smaller (red) one in the last 24H. In Greece there was an isolated small quake in the last 24H. Same thing in the Pacific near Indonesia.
Red: .......................... Last 24 hours
Orange: .................... 2 days old quakes
Yellow: ..................... Older quakesTap a colored spot to see the Location, Magnitude, Date, and GMT time of a quake.
If there are many earthquakes in the same area, you can zoom in to see individual spots.Pinch the map out with two fingers or double-tap on the spot to zoom in.
