Australian Geology Travel Maps is a field app that displays the best available data from the government geological surveys in interactive maps created by Trilobite Solutions. It does not have any reliance on cell phone reception in the field, and uses GPS so your location is always marked on the map. Maps are downloaded to your phone when have an internet connection, and from that point on, you are independent of the internet.
The simple geology maps are rich with contextual data - including shaded relief, roads, towns, tracks, rivers, lakes, geographic names, indigenous land, national parks & provincial parks.
App development, system maintenance and user support is fully-funded by subscriptions - there is no in-app advertising and your data is absolutely PRIVATE.
Our privacy policy: http://trilobite.solutions/maps/privacy
Trilobite Solutions does not represent any government entity, but we use Open Data from geological surveys to create our maps. Data sources are shown in the heading of each section of the 'Manage downloads' list.
We includes maps for New Zealand.
