Explore the Full Power of Detector Maps
From advanced geospatial data to offline maps, Detector Maps provides you everything you need to find the gold.
Key Geospatial Layers
Soil Samples
Click or tap on any soil sample on the map to view how much gold (in parts per billion) is present in the sample. This layer helps you identify areas with higher concentrations of gold in the soil, narrowing down prime spots for Metal Detecting.
Thematic mapping makes it easy to see the gold content in each sample with a quick glance.
Rock Samples
Click or tap on any rock sample on the map to view how much gold (parts per million) is present in the sample. This layer helps you identify areas with higher concentrations of gold in the rock, narrowing down prime spots for prospecting.
Stream Samples
Click or tap on any stream sample on the map to view how much gold (measured in Au ppb) is present in the sample. This layer helps you identify areas with higher concentrations of gold in stream sediments, narrowing down prime spots for prospecting.
Thematic mapping makes it easy to see the gold content in each sample with a quick glance.

Offline Access – Prospect Anywhere, Anytime
Take Detector Maps with you into the field – No Internet Required. Our mobile app is designed with offline prospecting in mind. Whether you’re out in the bush with no internet signal or exploring remote areas, you can take your maps, waypoints, and data with you, ensuring that you’re never without the tools you need.
Key Offline Features:
Map Downloads
Download specific map regions, including all the geospatial layers and data, before heading into the field. This allows you to access everything offline, even in areas without network connectivity.
You can download large areas or focus on specific regions of interest, ensuring that your maps are always available when you need them.
Offline GPS Tracking
Use GPS tracking even when offline to see your exact location in relation to key waypoints, streams, soil samples, and more. This ensures you can navigate the terrain effectively without losing your bearings.
Track your movement in real-time, even in areas without cellular service.
Waypoint Management
Add, edit, and manage waypoints while offline, marking areas of interest as you prospect. Your waypoints will automatically sync to the web platform when you reconnect to the internet.
Offline waypoint management ensures that you can continue logging important data without interruption.
Syncing Across Devices
Seamless syncing between Web and Mobile for a unified experience Detector Maps offers seamless syncing between your web portal and mobile app, ensuring that all your data—waypoints, notes, and layers—are consistent and up-to-date across devices.
Built in Tools to Find More Gold
Detector Maps isn’t just about providing data; we give you the tools to use that data effectively. From measurement tools to waypoint management, our platform is designed to make gold prospecting simpler and more precise.
Key Features:
Waypoint Manager
Create, edit, and organize your waypoints for better exploration planning. Waypoints can be imported/exported in formats like .KML and .SHP , giving you flexibility in how you use your data.
Manage your waypoints both online and offline, with automatic syncing when reconnected.
Measure Tool
Measure distances between points of interest on the map, helping you plan your prospecting routes and gauge the size of areas you’re exploring.
Precise distance measurements ensure that your prospecting is as efficient as possible.
