Found app to be a little lacking
For NSW the app lists various mine sites. The app does not give you the option of navigating to a selected point (mine). It does have the lat / long pop up in a dialogue box in decimal degrees but long is only to three decimal places. QLD and Vic have 5 to 8 decimal places. Why is it cut back in NSW , that will introduce a large error if navigating on foot, given some locations are in dense bushland the more accurate the better.

Convenient app
Top app for anyone looking for some fun with the kids or just having a good time finding some good stuff
App differences
I originally bought this app on my phone (Samsung) and thought it would be much better to view on my iPad (easier to use) but the phone seems to have more details about the locations and also switching to google maps it gives me instant directions to each site, whereas switching on the iPad only shows me the map of the location; which is still usable but so much easier and more productive to use the phone as it makes it easier to plan trips instantly knowing distances and travel times, so can switch from one location to another with ease. Just wish the iPad was as user friendly as my phone, still a great data base either way especially in Queensland where maps seem to be lacking on gold unlike other states.

Good app if was to get more updates
I like the app, and it has led me to two
mines nearly dead on
Biggest flaws:
1) if you use search nothing returns: No keywords, no mine names, no town names.
2) Need to be able to copy and save waypoints .
A great deal of effort was done to input the data. Although lacks a few features.

Should be linked to google maps
Bought this thinking it would work like google maps does when you add pinpoints ,literally google will take you there this doesn’t
Google was free enough said!

Response from developer
This is not yet possible on iPhone due to Google maps SDK restrictions. This feature is already enabled on the android version. I expect it to be available in the near future.
More map choices
Great app, unfortunately it’s stuck in satellite mode on the map. This makes it hard to figure out where some national parks and state forests collide. Would be great if the map choices were improved.
Update required
App looks good, but we need the promised updates.
Still waiting for the updates heading West early January
Thanks

Hi Vantraveler we are still working on the promised update, along with many more added features hence why it is taking longer than expected. Please be patient it will be worth the wait.
Gold app
Well worth the money, I found my Great grandfathers mine shaft on this app and a few others that I didn’t know about
