Best Military Navigation App!
Keep your head up. You’ve made the best military navigation app available. Thanks for all you continue to do.
Take care man.

Superb 👍🏼
Built for real-world use
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.

Superb 👍🏼
Best app + customer support
This app is excellent. I've verified its accuracy, which rivals the DAGR and Falcon View, and it’s accurate to less than a meter. My mortar guys have used TacNav-X to plan and verify targets during live fire training. All on target. Pretty BA.
I completely recommend this app to anyone in the military. And for infantry dudes like myself, this app is an absolute necessity.
Best app + customer support
TACNAV is excellent. 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.
I completely recommend TACNAV to anyone in the military, regardless of branch. However, for fellow infantry soldiers like myself, this app is an absolute necessity.

Useful, lots to be desired.
I’d like there to be a feature that allows for long pressing a location in order to pull a grid or select that grid to allow quick addition of positions or graphics. It would be tremendously easier to manipulate this app with just these simple features.
Response from developer
Hey Cruzbm02, Brother, thank you for the detailed review — and more importantly, thank you for your service. I really appreciate the honesty in your feedback, even if it’s a 2-star review. Everything you mentioned is valid, and I hear you loud and clear. You’re right that the drawing mode can be a little quirky (that’s why I made it free in the last update), and that maneuver graphics and templates would make the app much easier to use. Those are important improvements, and they’re on the way. I’ve already noted each of your points in my priority tracker so I can work them into future updates. Just to be transparent — I’m the sole designer and manager of TACNAV-X, and have been since I created it in Afghanistan. It’s supported by a very small dev team, and I fund development through my Army retirement and app revenue. So progress can be slower than I’d like. I don’t have the resources of the ATAK/TAK team or a big Army contract behind me, but I promise I’m doing everything I can to keep improving the app for guys in the field and other users. Not making excuses — just being real with you and laying it out so you and others understand what goes on behind the scenes. As you probably already know, this app started as a personal project when I was an FSO in the Pech and Korengal as a targeting tool after two of our soldiers were killed in action. For the last 15 years, I’ve been building it out to meet the needs of fires, maneuver, and other MOSs. Feedback like yours helps guide me in the right direction. Lastly, sorry for the length of this response. But bottom line — you’re heard, you’re appreciated, and I give you my word I’ll do my best to get your input integrated into TACNAV-X as soon as I can. Thanks again for supporting the app and helping make it better. Take care, man! – Jon

Helped with locating casualty
and came across a vehicle rollover
offline mode allowed me to get co-ordinates to emergency services for ambulance, firefighters and police.
also a lifesaver for Land Nav and planning routes with heaps of icons relevant to the military
10/10 would recommend, digga proof
worth the money for sure
Great features and usability
This app seems to have all the features available in other apps, while also recognizing (and providing) precision and consistency with what is established. Everything you could want and more!
Highly recommend!

Hey Brennan, Brother, thank you for leaving such a great review for Tactical NAV. I can’t tell you how much these reviews mean to me, and I sincerely appreciate it. I’m also sorry for the late response. I’ve been going through treatments for my TBI and a brain tumor, so I haven’t been at my best—but I really wanted to say thank you for your kind words about TACNAV-X. MilGPS is a great app, so hearing that you’re enjoying TACNAV-X really means a lot. I promise a ton of new functionality is coming—we’re coding and testing now, and I’ll keep pushing updates as soon as they’re ready. If you ever need to reach me personally, just hit me up at jon@tacnavx.com. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Take care, God bless, and stay safe! – Jon

New update
TACNAV is a Must Buy
I just wanted to update my review and let you know that the new updates to the app are outstanding.
Like I said previously, I’ve been using your app extensively for many years now, and the feature upgrades you’ve made to Tactical NAV have been nothing short of amazing.
Keep up the great work, and continue making those of us stationed at Fort Campbell proud. With each update, TACNAV continues to get better and better, and best of all, you always listen to our feedback and incorporate our input into the app.
In sum, please know that you’ll always have the support of those of us in 160th SOAR and 5th SFG.
Thanks again, Captain. Keep it up!
