Description

BACKGROUND:
Built from the ground up in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, Tactical NAV (also known as TACNAV-X) was developed by a U.S. Army Field Artillery officer with the vision of crafting a low-cost and highly accurate mobile navigation platform tailored for the U.S. military.
Tactical NAV’s journey began in the Pech River Valley and the Korengal Valley in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
U.S. Army Capt. Jonathan J. Springer, a Field Artilleryman serving as a Fire Support Officer with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), embarked on the development of this tactical navigation platform immediately following the memorial services for Spc. Blair D. Thompson and Spc. Jared C. Plunk, who were killed in action on June 25, 2010.
Despite initial rejections by the Department of Defense, Captain Springer remained steadfast in his mission to continue developing Tactical NAV — even to this day. His ultimate goals were (and still are) to make a positive difference for other soldiers and service members and to honor the men and women killed and wounded in battle.
He used his life savings to fund and develop TACNAV-X, all with the ultimate hope of saving military lives, and helping his fellow service members in accomplishing their missions at home and abroad.
Tactical NAV officially launched on the App Store on February 14, 2011.
BUILT FOR ACCURACY:
TACNAV-X’s performance accurately matches that of the AN/PSN-13 Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR).
MISSION:
Empower military service members with a highly accurate and powerful mobile navigation platform.
VISION:
Assist and support our nation’s service members with their mobile navigational needs and enable them to operate and win in both training and combat environments.
BOTTOM LINE:
Tactical NAV has successfully undergone evaluation against other software platforms and devices such as Nett Warrior, ATAK, and BFT. Its accuracy is within 1mm of these officially approved systems issued by the DoD.
IAPs & SUBSCRIPTIONS:
Tactical NAV offers in-app purchases (IAPs) and subscriptions. Currently, tactical drawing mode is available as an in-app purchase, and offline mapping mode is also accessible to users as either a monthly or yearly subscription.
All revenue generated from these features contributes to further developmental coding and updates, and a portion of the proceeds are donated to charities that specifically benefit disabled veterans.
KEY FEATURES:
• A military-quality precision targeting platform
• Purpose-built for the individual Soldier
• Offline mapping capabilities (complete usage of the app with no emission of a cellular signal)
• WGS-84 standard (MGRS, UTM, BNG, and USNG coordinates)
• Tactical drawing mode (useful for mission planning, building overlays, targeting, etc.)
• Waypoint plotting functionality with military graphics (per FM 1-02.2)
• Compass “FastLock” function for capturing quick and precise azimuths
• Snap and save photographs onto the main map to increase situational awareness
• Location, waypoint, and photo-sharing capabilities (via email and text)
• One-button night mode function for low-light situations
• ‘Go to Grid’ feature for precision planning, drawing of overlays, and dropping waypoints
• Real-time weather and temperature information
• Apple Watch app included for free
• Rigorously tested to ensure utmost accuracy and reliability
• iOS/iPadOS native code built for austere and contested environments
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The Department of Defense does not endorse Tactical NAV and TACNAV-X, nor should it be used in life-threatening or combat situations in place of a government-issued device.

Still shocked that not a lot of land nav guys know about this

Top-Notch Navigation App with Excellent Support

Love the new updates and the Apple Watch app is perfect for what I need it for. I wanted to share my thoughts about Tactical NAV because I was impressed when Captain Springer, the app's creator, took the time to email me directly in response to my inquiry about a new feature he's working on. Since Jonathan made the effort to provide me with a detailed response, I felt it was only fair to offer my honest assessment of the app. Tactical NAV is truly impressive! It provides everything we need for mission planning and setting up overlays, and its offline functionality is particularly noteworthy. I've personally verified its accuracy, which rivals the DAGR and Falcon View, accurate to less than a meter. Some of my mortar guys have used this app to plan and verify targets during a recent FTX that involved some live fire training. To wrap this up, I wholeheartedly recommend Tactical NAV to anyone in the military, regardless of branch. However, for fellow infantry soldiers like myself, this app is an absolute necessity. Can't wait to see the future updates for TACNAV-X!

Top notch app

Best military navigation app that’s available. From plotting targets for fires to creating overlays for full-scale military operations, this app does it all. The drawing feature is super useful, as is the offline mapping function, and the fact I can share my overlays with my friends on Android is awesome. A true force multiplier!

Phenomenal app: 5 Stars!!!

Tactical NAV is simply a phenomenal tactical app. I’m using this on both my iPad Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it’s easy to use, has excellent features for mission planning, and is extremely accurate. I used to use MilGPS, but TACNAV has won me over with its feature set and its ease of use, along with its customer service. Jonathan has created the best app outside of ATAK, and I can’t wait to see what Tactical NAV will do in the near future. If you’re on the fence, don’t hestiate. Just buy it. You can’t go wrong. And the offline mapping function makes this a gamechanger for me and my soldiers. 5-stars all the way.

Great app, better customer service!

This app is helping me write my an operations order! It makes it so simple to analyze the “battle field”. I had a few thoughts on the app and emailed Jonathan and within a few hrs he emailed me back. We had a back and forth conversation and even went as far as to show me a few of the things he’s working on to better the app. He was appreciative of my feedback and suggestions. So far im very impressed and can’t wait to see what this app will be in a few years especially at the rate that he is working.

Best Military App = Easy Purchase
