The Happy Prospector

Happy Prospector

Find Gold. Stay Legal. Prospect Smarter.
Happy Prospector is purpose-built for gold prospecting in Western Australia. Combining offline GPS mapping, current mining tenement data and powerful field tools, it helps you know where you are, where you can legally prospect and where you've already been.

Unlike general GPS mapping apps, Happy Prospector is designed specifically for prospectors, bringing together offline maps, mining tenement data, geology, track recording and find management in one easy-to-use app.

Built for the WA Bush
Once your maps and data are installed, Happy Prospector works completely offline.
• No mobile coverage required while prospecting

• No Wi-Fi required in the field

• Internet only needed when updating tenement data
• No advertising
Whether you're hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town or camped deep in the goldfields, Happy Prospector continues to work when other apps can't.

Completely Rebuilt
Happy Prospector has been completely rebuilt from the ground up with faster performance, improved mapping technology and a modern foundation for future updates.
