The Tactical NAV app was created by a US Army fire support officer to help simplify MGRS-based navigation and map use on an iPhone. The app is available via the App Store.
The creator, Jon Springer, received this email and passed it on to me. I agree with Jon that it’s worth a share.
Apparently, some of Roman’s family not only used Tactical NAV to get to safety in Poland, but others are using it in combat in Ukraine.
Can you share/view your position like with ATAK?
Only via email/txt Tactical Nav is on both ios app store , there is an alternative for ATAK for ios called itak.
the locus app for android definitely has life location sharing, and has a lot of other features, offlie mapping, mgrs, night modes etc…
Hi Ben,
You’ll soon have the ability to share and view your position using Tactical NAV, similar to ATAK.
I’m currently coding what I call troop tracking into the app now. TACNAV will be cross-platform, offering real-time user tracking between iOS and Android users.
It will also be commercially available, cost-effective, highly accurate, and secure.
Thank you for your reply to the story. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out anytime at jon@tacticalnav.com.
Take care, brother!
