Finding rail assets just got easier.
iRam Maps helps rail employees quickly locate key assets across the Perth rail network. Search the database and discover the nearest access gates to get you there, fast.

Everything on one layer. Asset locations sit directly on top of Google Maps, so you get a clear sense of where something is and how to reach it.
- 02
Sourced from public records. Locations come from publicly available information for the Perth network, updated weekly.

NavigateAssets and descriptions above are illustrative only — the app carries the real record.
Three things you'll use on every shift.
Smarter search
Type any part of an asset name for instant results. Or drop straight onto any point on the map, accurate to a metre, when the thing you need isn't an asset at all.
Custom filters
Filter the map by asset type — everything's neatly organised into useful categories so you can find exactly what you're looking for.
Save favourites
Bookmark the assets you visit most often. Save them to a personal list for quick access and easy navigation later on.
Every category carries its own colour.
The same colour means the same thing in the app, on the web and on this page — so a green pin is an access gate wherever you're looking at it.

Frequently asked questions.
What is iRam Maps?
iRam Maps is a map-based mobile dashboard that uses accurate geolocation information of important rail assets, sourced directly from publicly available information of the Perth rail network, to display them as pins on a Google Map layer — with the ability to search and navigate to these locations via the nearest convenient access gate available.
Does the app cost anything?
No, iRam Maps is completely free to download and use. There is no future plan to monetize access and it has previously not charged for access. The app developer has not and will not generate any income from this project.
How do I sign up?
After you've downloaded the app from the app store via links on this page, the app will guide you through a quick registration procedure. To keep the app safe from users outside of the industry, all new users must input a valid RIW (Rail Industry Worker) number, and installation is restricted to users inside Australia. Users who do not meet these requirements will have their access removed.
What's the difference between iRam Maps and the official printed manuals?
iRam Maps uses the same asset location information, but displays it directly on top of Google Maps so you can get a clear sense of its location and nearest access. You can also search for assets, create bookmarks, and view navigation routes from your location. Assets that are not publicly available may be locked behind special permissions.
Is iRam Maps up to date?
We strive to keep iRam Maps as up to date as possible, adding new locations every week via updates from official sources, plus first-hand reports from trusted sources in the field. Users are encouraged to report any new or inaccurate locations.
Who can use this app?
The information displayed in iRam Maps is sourced from publicly available records, however it's catered for railway workers and professionals who access the rail reserve for any reason — hence the requirement to hold a valid RIW number to create an account.
