Bring private GIS files into Explore and compare them against Canetoad data.
Exploration work rarely starts from a clean public dataset. Teams collect magnetic grids, target outlines, partner interpretations, tenement boundaries, shapefiles, KMZ files, and legacy rasters that usually live outside the map where they are making decisions.
Custom Layers brings that material directly into Canetoad. Drag a local raster or vector file into Explore, choose the layer settings, and place it beside the reports, assays, drill collars, surface samples, tenements, and company data you already use to screen ground.
The file is processed in your browser rather than uploaded into a shared workspace. That keeps private context close to the decision without forcing a conversion step before you can inspect it.
Once a layer is loaded, it behaves like part of the map. You can turn it on or off, adjust opacity, review the coordinate reference system, and compare it against Canetoad datasets without switching between GIS software, PDFs, and market data.
Render large raster and vector files in the browser, including GeoTIFF, Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF, JP2, GeoJP2, HTJ2K, shapefile, KMZ, GeoJSON, and KML formats.
Keep proprietary data local, with files decoded on your machine, cached in your browser, and excluded from shared Canetoad links.
Overlay private interpretation on Canetoad reports, government assays, drill collars, surface samples, tenements, geology, and company data.
Use the same layer controls for private files and Canetoad datasets, so opacity, visibility, and styling stay in one workflow.
That means a target model, regional magnetics grid, or partner-supplied vector layer can move from a desktop folder into the same map you use to check neighbours, screen targets, and review supporting evidence.
The practical value is speed. A large raster can be tested against the map before anyone spends time preparing a hosted tile service or reshaping a file for another platform. You can answer the first question quickly: does this layer change the story?
For investors and technical teams, that keeps the analysis focused on the ground. Custom Layers turns private context into a working map layer, while Canetoad supplies the exploration evidence needed to judge it.
Open Explore, add a raster or vector file, and compare your private context against Canetoad's national exploration data.
