Australian Geology Travel Maps 4+

Great app BUT why tracking at all times & could do with CarPlay

I have been using the app now for quite a few years and find it very useful. So far I have used it in WA, SA, NSW and VIC. Having said that it is not evolving, in particular;
1) It is till using location services ALWAYS time rather than the preferable While Using the App.
2) I often use the app in car, (thats why its talking to me) so why no apple car-play. I am often scatting with local laws as I drive around looking for outcrop looking at the phone and my GPS.
3) The overlay features between roads tracks and satellite are poorly resolved. Given the great public domain satellite I use it al the time.
4) What’s with state boarders? We have to toggle maps and then colours are not consistent. Try looking for outcrop near Mildura!
5) It would be great to be able to make layers invisible. If I am only interested in the Blanch-Town Clay-stone then being able to see the roads and satellite imagery around would help.
6) Unify ages so they are both named and have numeric values.
If a stone doesn’t keep rolling it will collect moss.

Developer Response ,

Hello, The Gormangast Kid.
Sorry, I wasn't alerted about your review so have only just seen it. This is a long one. Please send to me via the 'Contact us' page at trilobite.solutions web page. We can't use the review system for what will be a conversation.
The location ALWAYS will be of interest to others. It enables the app to record your trail while your SCREEN IS BLANKED OUT. This is a must - else you would burn up your battery very quickly if you had to keep the screen on.

Will review again after I’ve used it more.

I’ve just downloaded this app and starting to work it all out. It would be useful in Victoria, (not sure about other States as I haven’t been to them) to have a crown land overlay. It’s one thing being able to research an area but another knowing if you are allowed to be there, I think this would be quite useful.
Thanks and I hope to get lots of use from your app.
I love that it is add free.

Hello, Barb and Craig.
There is too much data for a crown land map for the whole state, but Vic has a very good data download system. You can download the entire crown land dataset, open in QGIS (on a computer), zoom into your area of interest, save as a .geojson file and import into the app.
This is the dataset - https://datashare.maps.vic.gov.au/search?md=579d189a-cdd6-5d1b-a02c-3c6f2ce5662c Use the 'Contact us' at trilobite.solutions for more info.

Andrew Campbell Gold Prospector

This is the most comprehensive and versatile App I have found for my needs. I prospect and detect for gold all over Australia and use it to extensively research locations before I arrive at my destinations, then it’s used in the field to pinpoint these areas of interest. The Australian Geology App is so portable and has the great advantage that it can be used in those remote areas where there is no internet. Besides using this App for gold prospecting I’m constantly using it on a daily basis when I’m travelling around Australia. What a great education tool.
The developer has created the perfect App and is to be congratulated. I can thoroughly recommend it to anybody who is travelling Australia.
