CENTERVILLE, Tenn – (Nov. 13, 2026) T.REX ARMS announced their Map Server, capable of exporting PDFs of military-style maps at various scales and robust landmark feature sets, for printing and exporting to ATAK and Garmin devices.
As mobile phone apps have taken over navigation, paper maps have gotten scarcer and the information on them has gotten sparser, especially for civilian applications. However, SAR, emergency response, and even recreational activities like orienteering depend on detailed paper maps with the military-style features that are usually missing from USGS and recreational prints.
To solve this, T.REX ARMS launched an online map server that can export printable PDFs of military-style maps. Maps can be printed at 1:50k, 1:25k, 1:24k, 1:48k, and 1:15k scales with MGRS grids and notation as well as UTM and lat-long coordinates.
All continents include roads and highways with exit numbers, rail lines, power lines, pipelines, runways, buildings with usage icons, differentiated deciduous and evergreen tree cover, river flow indicators, trails, and extra hilltop elevation points. North American maps get extra details, such as a high-resolution LIDAR hill-shade layer showing the earth surface, FEMA floodplains, intermittent streams, detailed tower data, ham radio repeaters, NOAA marine maps and soundings, and other important landmarks.
The export tool allows fine-grained control of all elements so that maps can be easily customized. In addition to PDFs, theserver can also export MBtiles for use in ATAK, and KMZ files for use on Garmin handhelds, with all the same features and elements as the printable PDFs.
TREX ARMS has compiled all their map data from public domain and open-source repositories so that redistribution of these files is possible without complex licensing agreements and subscription fees. In future, the tiles powering this map server will be made available for offline mapping tools and other resiliency projects.
