Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Marine & nautical charts
• Optional chart overlay with high-resolution depth (CHS NONNA, Canada), US charts (NOAA ENC), and global seamarks (OpenSeaMap). Adjustable opacity and offline caching, under Map Options.
Live feeds & hazards
• Live hurricane feed from the US National Hurricane Center.
• Earthquakes, tsunamis, weather, and Québec wildfires (SOPFEU) each show a distinct map icon.
• Feeds load automatically on launch, and stale markers are cleared automatically.
AI plant & object identification
• A camera button on the map uses on-device Apple Vision to identify plants, animals, and objects and drops a marker at your position. Works offline — photos never leave the phone.
Data packages & layers
• Import data packages by scanning a QR code, or open .zip / .kml / .kmz overlays from Files, Mail, Safari, or AirDrop.
• New Data Layers screen: a toggle for every imported overlay, an info view (filename, import date, SHA-256), centre-on-layer, and sharing of exported packages.
Apple Watch
• Record submersion water depth and pressure on Apple Watch Ultra as a Cursor-on-Target vital. Installs cleanly on watchOS 26.
iPad
• Fills the screen (fixed letterboxing after rotation) and supports Split View multitasking.
3D map
• Navigate with one finger in 3D, with an optional gyroscope look mode.
Security & reliability
• Every TAK server connection uses mutual-TLS with certificate pinning; a changed server certificate is refused with a re-trust prompt.
• When connected to more than one server, each server's data is kept isolated on the device.
• Reliable certificate enrollment with self-signed OpenTAKServer and FreeTAKServer; the connection resumes cleanly after enrollment.
• Additional stability fixes.
