Best Military Navigation App!

Hi Jon, I’m updating my review to let you know I read your response on the latest update. Just want to say that I’m thinking of you with what you’re going through. Tactical NAV / TACNAV-X is well worth the money.

Keep your head up. You’ve made the best military navigation app available. Thanks for all you continue to do.

Take care man.

Built for real-world use

Hi Jon,

I just wanted to update my review and let you know the latest updates to the app are outstanding.

As I mentioned before, I’ve been using TACNAV-X extensively for years now, and the improvements you’ve made are nothing short of impressive. Each update makes the app better and more capable, and it’s clear you’re putting real thought into how it’s used in the field.

Keep up the great work, and keep making those of us at Fort Campbell proud. What really stands out is that you listen to our feedback and actually build it into the app.

Bottom line, you’ll always have the support of those of us in 160th SOAR and 5th SFG.

Thanks again, Captain. Keep it up.

~ Chief

Nice app

Nice app ! I would perhaps appreciate altitude data and more drawing mode options, e.g. drawing spaces using coordinates, circles using radius, etc.
