GeoMap.WA is a computer-based application that allows users to visualise, interrogate and integrate vector and raster data types and associated attribution. It is an easy-to-use software application that does not require specialised skills or costly computer systems. This innovative desktop application is designed to help exploration geologists, prospectors and the community to create a customised view of geoscientific, resource and other government information on their computer in the office, home or in the field.
