TacMap

Offline GPS field maps + grid

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

New in 3.0: GeoPDFs line up with the printed MGRS grid, easy PDF calibration, sharp maps at every zoom, line of sight, red night mode and KML export. TacMap is an offline map for the field: unlock once, with no subscription. No TacMap account, ads or behavioural analytics. Built for hiking, hunting, overlanding, search and rescue, surveying and MGRS navigation. MAPS WITHOUT A CONNECTION • Import PDF, GeoPDF and MBTiles maps and keep several to switch between. • GeoPDFs are placed in the sheet's own projection and datum, so the MGRS grid lines up with the printed grid. • Calibrate a plain PDF or a photo of a paper map from three or more grid references (MGRS, UTM or latitude/longitude) and see how accurate each one is. • Maps stay sharp as you zoom in, and can be saved as offline tiles. • Use imported maps offline, without country restrictions. • Online basemaps, terrain elevation and weather are optional and require a connection. NAVIGATE AND PLAN • Read your position in MGRS, UTM or latitude/longitude. • Keep the map North Up or rotate it with your heading. • Measure distances, areas and bearings in degrees or NATO mils. • Add waypoints, draw lines and areas, and organise them into layers. • Use search-and-rescue, points-of-interest, airsoft and NATO APP-6 symbols. • Record your route and export GPX tracks. • See the elevation profile and line of sight along any line. Uses online lookups. • Red night mode protects your night vision. • Offline sun and moon times, and range rings around any symbol. WORK TOGETHER • Share drawings and symbols between iOS and Android with end-to-end encrypted Unit Sync. • Optionally share your callsign, position and heading with your unit. • Send encrypted text or reports to the room or a selected live unit with TacMap Chat. • Screen-off location sharing has a separate switch. Updates depend on the operating system and connection. • The relay cannot decrypt mission content, but sees admission, routing, session and control data, Chat recipients, IP addresses, timing and data size. “Routed” is not delivery or read proof; member status is relay-reported. YOUR DATA, YOUR TOOLS • Import and export GeoJSON, KML and KMZ, for QGIS, Google Earth and ATAK. • Export mission objects together; recorded tracks remain separate GPX files. • Mission data is encrypted in app-private storage. Imported maps remain in private, device-protected storage. • Online basemaps and lookups are off at first launch and can be enabled independently. While enabled, providers receive your IP address and requested map area, search query or coordinates. Coordinate and mission search stays on-device. • Optional Face ID or Touch ID app lock. For iPhone and iPad. ENGLISH AND GERMAN Choose English, German or Device language in Settings. Your own names, notes and messages remain unchanged. UNLOCK ONCE Try TacMap free for three days, then unlock with a one-time purchase. No subscription. The App Store shows your local price.

TacMap 3.0 MAPS • GeoPDFs are placed in the sheet's own projection and datum, so the MGRS grid sits on the printed grid. USGS US Topo sheets import correctly again. • Calibrate a plain PDF or a photo of a paper map: put the crosshair on a grid intersection, enter its reference in MGRS, UTM or latitude/longitude, and see how accurate each point is. Move, edit or undo points, and pick up where you left off. • Imported maps stay sharp as you zoom in, with no gaps while the map loads. Save a sheet as offline tiles, and keep several maps to switch between. • MGRS grid labels match their lines, 10 km and 100 km lines follow the curve of the projection, and the grid stays tidy at zone edges. FIELD TOOLS • Elevation profile and line of sight along any measured or drawn line, with dead ground greyed out. Uses online lookups. • Night mode: a red, dimmed screen that protects your night vision. • KML and KMZ export for Google Earth, ATAK and GIS tools, with symbol images. • Hold the map for a point menu: place a symbol, measure, add range rings, see sun and moon times or copy the coordinate. • A guided tour of the map controls, and range rings that follow their symbol. UNIT SYNC • Steadier on poor connections, quicker to reconnect, and lighter on battery while you stand still. • Undo no longer reverts a teammate's edits.
