Stop searching the same ground twice
:GeoDetectit Pro helps you plan search areas, track field coverage and document finds in a structured way. The result is a more systematic field workflow, better analysis and less wasted time.
The real problem
Many detecting sessions become unsystematic. You spend hours in the field, get interesting signals, but later you no longer remember exactly where you walked, where the productive areas were, or what remains to search.
- The same ground gets searched again.
- Promising zones are lost between sessions.
- Documentation ends up split across photos, notes and memory.
- The next session starts from guesswork instead of data.
With :GeoDetectit Pro
:GeoDetectit Pro turns detecting into a more structured process. You can see what has been done, what remains, and where the useful results actually came from.
- See exactly where you have already walked.
- Identify gaps in coverage.
- Document finds with geotagged photos and notes.
- Export complete missions for analysis, archive or sharing.
- Build a real field archive over time.
Advanced map layers
Access better basemaps, orthophotos and regional layers through :GeoDetectit Pro’s protected map access. This helps you understand terrain, structure and historical patterns before you start searching.
Unlimited missions
Organise work in missions with areas, tracks, signals, photos and stats. Ideal when you return to the same site over several days, weeks or seasons.
Export & backup
Keep full control of your data with open formats and complete ZIP backups. Use in GIS, store locally or share with others.
What you actually get
- Better planning: choose search areas using stronger map support.
- Less overlap: see where you have already searched.
- More structure: keep tracks, signals, photos and notes together in one mission.
- Better decisions: know where to continue next time.
- Safer documentation: export and archive your field data.
Built on the right principles
- Offline-first: the app should work in the field, not only when connected.
- Local-first: data is stored on your own device.
- No forced cloud: no mandatory account-centric workflow.
- You own your data: export in open formats.
- Capability over lock-in: you pay for tools, not for data captivity.
Map layers relevant to metal detecting
:GeoDetectit Pro is designed to bring together map layers that actually help in the field. The goal is to reduce the need to switch between multiple map services just to understand terrain, history, protected areas and regional information.
Example: Finland
In Finland, Maanmittauslaitos (MML) is highly valuable for terrain maps, orthophotos and other geographic base information. Museovirasto provides maps and information about protected ancient monuments and archaeological heritage.
Community-driven layers
Users in different regions can help identify which map layers are actually the most relevant locally. Over time, :GeoDetectit Pro can gather the right layers for your region — instead of forcing you to jump between 2–4 different map apps and web services.
Pro tools in the field
Search coverage
Gain better control over which parts of a site have already been searched and which are still open. Especially valuable on larger fields, repeat sessions and wooded areas.
Photo & find documentation
Document finds directly in the field with geotagged images, category and comments. This makes your archive more consistent and keeps important context from being lost.
Detector profiles
Save and reuse setups for different detectors, signal preferences or field conditions. Useful when you want more consistency across sessions and devices.
ZIP mission backup
Export a complete mission with geodata, metadata and photos in one coherent archive format that can be stored, shared or imported again later.
