Multi-source data
Satellite, soil, geology and topography combined in one analysis.
Technology
Truffle Discovery Technology: Habitat Intelligence + GPS Targeting + Field Detection
World-first integrated truffle discovery technology. Patent application filed — Application No: 2026/014888.
TruffleMaps and TRUFON HUNT form the world's only integrated truffle discovery system combining satellite, soil, geology, habitat intelligence, real-time GPS targets and field detection.
The technology combines geospatial science, software, sensor technology and field work.
Components
Six layers that make up the system
Habitat intelligence
Layers are read together; habitat suitability is computed in species context.
Species analysis
Separate layers for Tuber aestivum, magnatum, melanosporum and borchii.
GPS target generation
The points to check first across large land are prioritised.
TRUFON HUNT field sensing
Field detection at the target, with measurement that accounts for ambient conditions and a geo-referenced record.
Evidence loop
Model → Sensor → Evidence → Feedback; every field result improves the system.
Patent
Patent application filed
Patent Application No: 2026/014888. The invention combines a habitat model, a field sensor, evidence capture and a feedback loop in one framework.
TruffleMaps is the result of founder and inventor Cem Merter's original discovery, field work, software development and scientific/technical research.
Data security
The model stays on our servers; you receive your area
The habitat model runs on TruffleMaps servers. Customers receive only their licensed area's data, through the signed mobile app and device licence.
