What is Tactical NAV? Description of Tactical NAV 3838 chars

BACKGROUND:

Built from the ground up in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, Tactical NAV was created 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 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 Tactical NAV, all with the ultimate hope of saving military lives and assisting 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:

Tactical NAV'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 1 meter 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
• 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, nor should it be used in life-threatening or combat situations in place of a government-issued device.

Tactical NAV Pros

✓ 100% trusted app!This app will never leave my iPhone now that i have it downloaded and have been using it. I don’t know why i didn’t hear about tac-nav sooner! Its also pretty cool to know that one of the boys created this app and continues to develop it for guys like me who are serving in the active Army. Please give me a landscape option with ipad support, along with troop tracking, and this app would completely change the game with how my battalion operates in the field and/or overseas. Well done, Captain..Jumpmaster-7Version: 3.8.3

✓ Tac NAVThis app is a blessing. Tactical Nav produces when needed. I remember using this app on a few deployments when my Govt BFT would not work properly. This app allowed me to navigate the correct routes to the objective on time. I used this app also as a senior leader on a rotation in Korea. I planned, organized and brief missions and movements using this extraordinary user friendly app. I also use tactical nav while home for basic outdoor activities like hunting and planning hikes. I draw and mark up areas and hunt locations and use it to walk in the dark on exact routes to my stand location. The best navigation app I have used with the Soldier/Warfighter in mind. Produces results and always refining bases of battlefield experience. A trusted app and development team. I highly recommend this app. Chris..Bone crusher 7Version: 3.7.7

Tactical NAV Cons

✗ Still deciding.I downloaded MilGPS before this one and have been using it for awhile now. I like that it has offline maps without creating extra cost. I would have paid $12 to have the offline included which is the most important part. When reading through the info before purchase I did not see where it listed that as an additional cost. That would have been nice to know before purchase. The graphics for this app are great quality and the icon list is nice. It has the same flaw as MilGPS in that the border of the countries are way off. Since my team works the borders and we are not allowed to cross, this app doesn’t help in that capacity. I’ll have to refer to the other app for offline patrols and this app as backup for planning on the fly. Will keep digging into the app to see the comparisons and which one will benefit my team more out on patrols. For the last 5 months everyone have been using other apps successfully. I’m doing a trial run to see if we want to switch over since this one has better graphics and point selections than most..5h82m9123Version: 3.7.9

✗ Option to hold on updateHey guys Any chance you can add in a button that allows the app to opened when an update is needed? I’ve been caught out trying to open up the app outside of range and it says it needs an update. But out of range so no function to just say “Later” an still use the app. Other wise enjoying using tactical Nav 👍🏼✅.Bobsyouraunty69Version: 4.1.4
