◆ Never dig the same spot twice. DigMap is the logging app built for metal detectorists. Every track, every find, every landowner permission — recorded on your own private map. ◆ Sound familiar? - Dug the same spot twice - Forgot where you found something good - App crashed and the day's session was gone - Missed a permission expiry date - Find photos lost somewhere in your camera roll DigMap was built to fix all of it. ◆ Key features SESSIONS THAT SURVIVE ANYTHING Your track is recorded by GPS and autosaved every second. Battery dies? App crashes? Hit Resume and pick up exactly where you left off. 3-TAP FIND LOGGING Found something? Category → depth → save. A pin drops right where you stand, with an optional photo. Fine-tune pin positions later on max-zoom satellite imagery. FIND ALBUM Your find photos become a monthly collage gallery — with a full-screen viewer you can pinch to zoom and swipe down to close. SITES & PERMISSIONS Save your go-to spots as sites. Track landowner permissions with terms and expiry dates — DigMap reminds you 14 days before and on the day. OFFLINE MAPS Download map tiles per site. Keep recording deep in the woods or on remote beaches with no signal. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Buttons big enough for gloves. A sunlight mode for harsh daylight. Battery saver for long hunts. STATS & YEAR IN REVIEW Sessions, distance, finds by category, trash-rate trends, best site. Share your year as an image — with your locations hidden. YOUR DATA, ALWAYS Export everything as GPX / CSV anytime. ◆ Our privacy promise - Data lives on your device (and your own iCloud backup) only - We have no server that stores your spots - Sharing happens only when YOU choose — shared images blur location by default - We never sell or share your location data. Ever. ◆ Before you dig Laws on metal detecting, digging, and finds reporting vary by country and region (e.g. the Treasure Act 1996 and PAS in the UK). Always obtain permission and follow local regulations. ◆ Pricing DigMap is available as a weekly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Purchases can be restored anytime.
