TacMap is a serious offline map for the field - buy it once and own it. No subscription. No account. Nothing collected, ever.
Built for anyone who works or plays where the signal drops: hikers, hunters and overlanders; search-and-rescue, fire and EMS crews; survey, forestry and drone-mapping teams; and military and cadet users who live in MGRS and NATO symbology. One map, offline anywhere, and your data stays yours.
WORKS OFFLINE, ANYWHERE ON EARTH
• Import any GeoPDF or scanned map sheet and georeference it on-device
• Calibrate any image or paper map with a quick 3-point fix - it reports its accuracy in metres so you know you can trust it
• Sideload MBTiles offline tile sets - no regional lock-in, no curated country list, no network required
• Terrain heatmap - a DEM-shaded elevation overlay you can toggle on the fly
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE
• Live position readout in MGRS (to 10 figures), lat/long, and UTM - with elevation at the crosshair
• Compass with true-north marker, in degrees or NATO mils (6400)
• Measure distance, area, and bearing - in degrees and mils
• Drop and label waypoints; record and export your route as a GPX track
MARK UP THE MAP
• Drawing tools: points, lines, areas, and freehand sketch - each with its own colour, width, and opacity, organised on named layers
• Full undo/redo
• NATO APP-6 symbology for tactical users - build any unit from affiliation × echelon × function, add an HQ flag, and place control measures and task graphics (phase lines, boundaries, axis of advance, block/breach/seize/screen, FLOT/FEBA, and more)
SHARE THE PICTURE, LIVE
• Unit Sync - share drawings and symbols across devices in real time over an end-to-end encrypted channel
• Live presence - see your team on the map with callsign, heading, and position, all end-to-end encrypted
• The relay never sees your plaintext; a connected indicator shows you're linked up
• Conflict alerts - if a teammate edits the same object, you get a notification instead of a silent overwrite
• Weather + drone flight-safety widget - live wind, gusts, visibility, and a SAFE / CAUTION / DANGER read for the map centre
OPEN BY DESIGN - YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• Import and export GeoJSON (RFC 7946) - round-trips cleanly through QGIS, ArcGIS, Felt, Leaflet, and Google Earth
• Import KML / KMZ from Google Earth and ATAK
• Record and export GPX tracks
• Export All - one-tap backup of every symbol, drawing, waypoint, and track as a single GeoJSON file
• No proprietary format. Everything you make exports to the tools you already use.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
• All processing on-device. Zero data collected - no telemetry, no ads, no third-party SDKs.
• Optional Face ID / Touch ID app lock
• Universal iPhone and iPad - not gated behind the newest OS
