Detector Maps

Detector Maps is the field tool that keeps you on the gold. Built by geologists for real prospectors and metal detectorists across Australia, the United States, New Zealand and Canada, it pairs advanced geological data with rock-solid GPS so you spend your time on high-potential ground, not guessing. Whether you are swinging a metal detector for gold, panning a creek or hiking into remote country, it puts serious geological intelligence in your pocket - and it works offline, where the gold actually is. Gold detecting is metal detecting, so the same tools help any detectorist work smarter. DATA LAYERS (where available) - Surface geochemistry with built-in filtering to target the right pathfinder elements - Historic gold mines and workings - detect where gold has already been found - Current and expired mining leases and claims, updated every weekday, so you know where you stand - 1-metre LiDAR hillshade that reveals old workings and ground features worth a closer swing - where available (a per-state add-on in Australia) FOR METAL DETECTORISTS The same tools that find gold help any detectorist. Use historic mines and old workings to find ground that produced before, read LiDAR to spot old sites and diggings the eye misses, and check leases, claims and boundaries before you ask permission. Then log every find, live-GPS your position and record your trail offline - the field kit every detectorist needs. BREADCRUMB TRAIL TRACKING (BACKGROUND GPS) Record your exact trail even when the app is in the background or the screen is off. See where you have walked, stop covering the same ground twice, and save paths for the next trip. WHY WE REQUEST "ALLOW ALL THE TIME" LOCATION ACCESS Detector Maps only uses background location when you switch breadcrumb tracking ON. This keeps an unbroken log of your journey while your phone is idle or the screen is off, and saves battery. Disable it anytime in the app or your device settings. WAYPOINT MARKING AND FIND LOGGING Drop waypoints on gold finds, targets, quartz outcrops, and old workings. Add names, notes and categories, then sync securely so your finds are never lost. REAL-TIME GPS NAVIGATION Track your live position and watch leases, boundaries, geology and terrain update around you as you move - a GPS built for gold prospecting and metal detecting.
