Offline-first · works miles from signal

Read the ground beneath you.

PetraMapper turns real geological maps, mining records, and your own field notes into one offline map you can actually use on the outcrop — tap to identify rock units, scan for mines, and log strike & dip with survey-grade GPS.

In the field

Everything a field geologist carries — in one map.

Purpose-built for prospectors, exploration geologists, and rockhounds who work where the cell signal stops.

Identify the rock under your feet

Tap anywhere to read the geologic unit, age, and lithology straight from USGS state and national maps.

Mining intelligence

Cross-references BLM claims, USGS MRDS/USMIN, MSHA, OSMRE e-AMLIS, and state records — then confidence-ranks every site in view.

Strike, dip, stations & samples

Place FGDC structural symbols, log field stations with GPS-averaged positions, and track samples with chain-of-custody.

Petra Storyteller

A hands-free audio tour that narrates the geology and mining history around you as you walk — grounded in real sources.

Export & crew handoff

Download GeoJSON, GPX, structural CSV, or a full project bundle that packs stations, photos, and offline areas for a teammate.

Reference maps on tap

Jump to NGMDB MapView and the USGS National Map for any spot, or capture a published map sheet as a georeferenced overlay.

No signal, no problem

Built offline-first, for real.

Cache satellite and topo imagery before you leave the trailhead. Out in the field every station, measurement, photo, and drawing is saved on your device — then syncs automatically when you're back in range.
