3D Ground Scan Overview

3D Ground Scan records multiple parallel scan lines across an area and combines them into an interactive 3D map — letting you see the shape, location, and relative depth of buried objects.

Scan Modes by Model

ModeAvailable onDescription
BasicAll modelsManual scan lines recorded one at a time
AdvancedGoldenEye, GoldenEye PlusAdds camera photo tagging and the Position Indicator
ProfessionalGoldenEye Plus onlyAR overlay, larger scan areas, adjustable resolution
Professional 3D requirements

Professional mode requires an iPhone 6S or later running iOS 11 or later.

How 3D Scanning Works

  1. Select 3D Ground Scan from the app home screen.
  2. Choose a scan mode (Basic, Advanced, or Professional — depending on your model).
  3. Record scan lines across the area in a parallel pattern.
  4. The app assembles each line into a 3D colour map in real time.
  5. When finished, view, rotate, and analyse the 3D model — then save it to Stored Scans.

Interpreting the 3D Map

The colour scale runs from cool to warm tones:

ColourMeaning
Blue / coolLow signal — likely no target
Yellow / orangeElevated signal — possible target
Red / warmStrong signal — highest-probability target location

Peaks in the 3D surface correspond to buried objects. Rotate and zoom the model to inspect peaks from multiple angles before deciding where to dig.
