Technical

Zero response to emails for help with map settings, app settings do not change view of existing mines or diggings, when I first subscribed, everything worked great, but something changed now things don’t work like they’re supposed to,,, currently looking for alternate app, obviously they don’t care about my business!

App experience

The app is awesome. The only thing that I wish was added is more Canadian provinces like Alberta.

Apps bugged

Ive downloaded the app and set my 3 day free pro trial up and i set my region and state correctly but yet no information at all around nsw for gold. Only qld, wouldnt recommend wasting your time, go get a old gold map off google close to your region you will have better luck.

FAQ

What does Detector Maps do?

Detector Maps is a field tool designed for gold prospecting. It combines advanced geological datasets with intuitive GPS tools to help users explore potential gold-bearing areas more efficiently, even offline. It provides access to various data layers, tracks your movements, and allows you to mark important locations.

What are the key features of Detector Maps?

Key features include advanced geological and gold-focused data, offline map and data layer downloads, breadcrumb trail tracking using background GPS, waypoint marking with field notes, and real-time GPS navigation. It also includes layers for historic gold mines, workings, and current mining leases.

How much does Detector Maps cost?

Detector Maps operates on a subscription model. You can choose between a monthly subscription for $9.99 USD or a yearly subscription for $99 USD. These plans provide access to all maps and standard layers for Australia, the USA, and New Zealand.

Is Detector Maps compatible with my device and can I use it offline?

The app is optimized for mobile and offline field use. You can download detailed map tiles and data layers for offline access, ensuring that your GPS position, trails, and waypoints function without mobile reception. This makes it ideal for remote trips and off-grid prospecting.

Who is Detector Maps designed for?

This app is specifically built for real prospectors, including those who are swinging a detector, panning a creek, or hiking into remote country. It's also useful for geologists and anyone interested in exploring for gold in Australia, the United States, New Zealand, and England (for coin and relic hunting).
