Highway1 said:Hi Grant and all interested forum members, There was a new Victorian government mining information service released this week, "Mining Licenses Near Me". I have had a look and it is certainly interesting. Works on PC, Ipad and Iphone5. This appears to have some of the features Grant was talking about and he maybe able to use this in working on his app.

One thing to keep in mind, when I entered the program I was asked if you wanted to "share your location" with Vic Gov site, so that one will be up to you guys to sort out for yourselves.
Cheers
Hi Karen,KiwiKaren said:Oh! I am a bit late to this conversation but happy I found it!
I am a total beginner with this prospecting thing so my suggestions might not hold much weight but....
I would like something like: Known panning locations within X Kms (search) (drop down selection for Panning/detecting/gem fossicking and also diff distances)
Also access - Does the area require 4WD or not!?
I have heard of prospectors having apps for burn off alerts. I believe this is both for safety AND to know when new areas open up that were too overgrown to detect? Would that be handy to incorporate?
chemstar said:an overlay of know occurrences and old workings is a must,
when your account is activated you will get location maps in the download section, also some data is here

also an ability for it to work offline is another must as most gold bearing locations are outside of phone service
old historical gold maps would be nice as well found at the above link,
if the map was able to pin personal finds i would assume it would be abused by some to throw others off, my 2 cents anyhow
