Leave a Review Tactical NAV
Impressive/Accurate
After downloading the app and using it for a couple of days in the field, I can confirm TACNAV’s accuracy. Like others reviewers have said, I’m not a fan of having to pay for additional features, but they’re worth it IMO and are very useful, so it’s all good. Please add a landscape option so I can rotate the phone 90 degrees and better plot my overlays and this would be killer awesome. Other than that, this app is very legit.Show lessAW160
Seems legit
Just downloaded the app and have been playing around on it. Everything seems to load up pretty quick and the features are all very intuitive and easy to use. I can already tell I’m gonna be a big fan of the compass feature and the other things on that part of the app. I also immediately bought the offline version and am very excited to get it out on some trails. The only thing I’m curious about is on your website it says that you’re planning to add a troop track function into the app, when are you planning on adding that in? I know it will be extremely useful. Thanks for what seems to be a great app I’m really looking forward to resting it out more!Show lessyellowhammer5

Prizrak, Thanks for the kind words my man, and I appreciate the updated review! More updates and refinements are coming to TACNAV, and we’re going to start coding in the landscape mode and “troop tracking” here shortly as well. Also, reach out to me anytime. My direct line is +1 260-624-1177 if you want to give me a call, or if you want to discuss particular features being implemented into the app. Bottom line, I have your back, and our fellow warfighters’ backs as well — I give you my word. I mean that. Thanks again, and I’ll check about those TACNAV shirts as well. I appreciate the support! - JonathanStill 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.Show less5h82m9123
Accuracy and reliability
As service member and a senior NCO I can put my trust in this app. Training management is a great portion of my job, and this app has facilitated the planning and execution of training for soldiers from the squad level all the way to a BDE level. Personally I have used this app to plan and execute pathfinder operations, training events and drop zone survey operations. The accuracy of the app facilitated imagery, locations and obstacles identification during air assault operations and the coordination with aviation units. I have compared this app to current systems utilized by the Warfighters and this app it’s more accurate, faster and reliable.Show lessSgtp21
Great App
The possible uses for this app are limitless. Its not just for military operations; LEOs, search and rescue units, and the average civilian could all benefit from having this app. The maps pull up very quickly. The add on drawing feature has a ton of possibilities as well. Hunters and fishers could use the waypoint feature to mark food plots or fishing beds. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors should seriously consider purchasing this app.
The amount of thought that went into this app is amazing, hopefully the military will adopt TacNav in the near future. A must have for any 2LT on a land nav course.
Update: After a few weeks of using and checking out what TacNAV can do I’m still highly impressed. I think I’ll be adding the drawing feature in the near future.Show lessJT 13 Bravo
Tac NAV
This 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, Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review, and I'm glad to hear Tactical NAV worked when DOD authorized systems failed out in the field or on mission. For officially approved systems/platforms or equipment to fail Soldiers when they are needed is inexcusable, in my opinion. Still, I won't go there since this review and response are all public. Regardless, we appreciate your service to our great Country, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us in the future if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks, brother! - Jonathanbest tactical app i’ve ever used
this is by far the greatest tactical app you can find on the apple app store. i’ve been using this app for years now and it’s very accurate i use this with my DAGR and it give same info. i love how i can draw overlays and would love to see in future updates that you can build an overlay and share the overlays with team members given they have the app. thank you for making an awesome app.Show lesssmithers08
Works as advertised
I used this app while on active duty as an observer, Trainer/ Coxntiller. While finding training sites in various bases and other training locations across the Eastern US, I found that this app was more accurate than the issued equipment. It was 3-5 meters accurate! I mainly used it for navigation, however the additional features are worth the additional expense as it provides a better real time picture...this is imperative for any action or plan that is. Wing executed and communicates too.Show lessNFS_EXE-5
Great app for diverse utilization!
This app is such a user-friendly platform where the everyday civilian and soldier can easily access and utilize accordingly. As a civilian traveling across various rural areas and cities in the US, this app has never failed me. I have navigated the busy streets of NYC and LA with this app, and then found my way around the less populated Midwest rural areas of Iowa and Ohio.
As a fires intelligence officer, there is no better innovation that is easily and readily available that I would trust more. The offline capabilities is truly a lifesaver where the dictating battle environment may present those complex scenarios. This app provided our artillery batteries and the chain of command the necessary information to send rounds down range in a timely and accurate manner that saved lives! Today’s technological capabilities provides such innovative opportunities for commanders and our most senior leadership....this app answers those calls to be a cost effective and reliable resource!Show lessJlvitti
