Detector Maps is your ultimate field tool for gold prospecting in Australia, the United States, and New Zealand. Built by geologists for prospectors, it combines advanced geological datasets with intuitive GPS mapping tools to help you explore more efficiently and uncover high-potential gold zones faster. Whether you’re swinging a detector, panning a creek, or exploring remote terrain, Detector Maps puts rich geological intelligence in your hands — even offline. What Makes Detector Maps Different? Advanced Geological Data Layers Surface geochemistry & filtering Historic gold mines and workings Current and expired mining leases, claims (updated every weekday) LiDAR Hillshade optional extra add-on All curated specifically for prospectors and optimised for mobile use Breadcrumb Trail Tracking (Background GPS) Record your exact trail — even when the app is in the background or your screen is off Avoid retracing old ground and log your exploration path for future trips Why We Request “Always Allow” Location Access? Detector Maps uses background location tracking only when breadcrumb tracking is turned on by the user This ensures a complete log of your journey, even while your phone is idle or the screen is off to save battery You can disable background tracking at any time through the app or device settings Offline Access Anywhere Download detailed map tiles and data layers to use when offline GPS, trails, and waypoints continue to work without mobile signal Waypoint Marking & Field Notes Drop waypoints for gold finds, test pits, quartz outcrops, hot targets, old workings, or camps Organise, name, and sync everything to your account Real-Time GPS Navigation Track your live position with precision across leases, boundaries, and terrain features Coverage Australia Full coverage across all major gold-producing states: QLD, NSW, VIC, WA, SA, TAS & NT United States California, Alabama, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Washington, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, New Mexico New Zealand Goldfields coverage with historic mining data, geology layers, and offline maps Subscription Information All States / All Countries Access Plan(s): USA Pricing Monthly: $9.99 USD Yearly: $99 USD AUS/NZ Pricing Monthly: $9.99 AUD Yearly: $99 AUD Includes all maps, layers, offline use, and coverage for Australia, USA, and New Zealand.

Downloaded this application the day it became live for the states. All of the information it gives along with the lidar aspect and old gold find recordings is excellent for research. The claim boundaries and linking to the MLRS data is also a great touch. Showing water flow and seasonal streams helps a bunch in researching areas to prospect especially near old hydraulic pits.

Does not do anything they claim. You can only look at the spot you’re currently at. The second you lift your finger off the map while searching it jumps right back to your current location. I have cancelled my 9.99 a month subscription and I can’t log in to even try to use it for my remaining 30 days. I’ll be reporting it to Apple. Don’t waist your money on this obvious scam application.

Developer Response
Hi Rob, I’m really sorry you had that experience and the application is not a scam. Sounds like the issue you have described occurred because the feature “follow me” was enabled. That feature is designed to keep the map centered on your live location while you’re moving in the field. On the map side, you actually can explore far beyond your current location, across 15 U.S. states, 7 states and territories in Australia, and all of New Zealand. If you have this issue please tap the little location target icon once to turn that mode off. After that, you can drag and zoom anywhere you like and the map will stay where you leave it.The subscription bug you encountered was a genuine error and we have already fixed it in the latest version, so anyone who cancels will still have their full 30 days of access like they’re supposed to. If anything occurs like this In the future please do reach out to us at hello@detectormaps.com.au with your Apple ID and we’ll get your access restored right away.To make up for your trouble, I’d like to offer you an extra 30 days free of charge so you can test the app now that the fixes are live. All I need is a quick note from you sent to the email above with “Rob App Review” in the subject line. I’ll personally ensure your access is extended and help troubleshoot anything that still feels off.Kind Regards,Matt
