What is Tactical NAV: MGRS Navigation?
Built from the ground up in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, Tactical NAV comes from the mind of a U.S. Army Field Artillery officer who had a vision of creating a low-cost and highly accurate tactical navigation platform built specifically for military service members.
BUILT FOR ACCURACY:
Tactical NAV's performance is on par with the AN/PSN-13 Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR), and it has the feedback to prove it.
BOTTOM LINE:
Created on the battlefield, Tactical NAV was the very first MGRS-focused navigation app available on the App Store. It is also the only combat-proven app available today. It has proven to be effective across a multitude of environments all throughout the world.
Tactical NAV has been successfully evaluated against other software platforms and devices such as Nett Warrior, JCR, BFT, JBC-P, and ATAK. Its accuracy is within 1-to-3 meters of these officially approved systems issued by the Department of Defense.
FEATURES:
• A military-quality precision targeting platform • Purpose-built for the individual Soldier • Offline mapping capabilities (complete usage of the TACNAV platform with no emission of a cellular signal) • WGS 84 standard (MGRS, UTM, BNG, and USNG coordinates) • Tactical drawing mode (e.g., useful for Joint Fires planning, creating overlays, route planning, and so forth) • Waypoint plotting functionality with military graphics (per FM 1-02.2) • Compass "FastLock" function for capturing quick azimuths • Snap and save photographs onto the main map for intelligence purposes and AARs • Location, waypoint, and photo-sharing capabilities (via email and text) • One-button night mode function for low-light situations • "Go to Grid" option for intelligent pinpoint planning and drawing of overlays • Created and tested to ensure utmost accuracy and reliability • iOS native code built for austere and contested environments • And so much more!!!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The Department of Defense does not endorse Tactical NAV, nor should it be used in life-threatening or combat situations in place of a government-issued device.
