Put your whole team on a shared live map. See where everyone is, drop pins, draw routes and areas, and chat — all inside a private session only your group can see. Whether you're running airsoft milsim ops, coordinating a search-and-rescue team, leading a multi-day expedition, or managing a field crew on location, Tacnav gives you the situational awareness you need without enterprise complexity. HOW A SESSION WORKS One person creates a session and shares a QR code. The team scans, joins, and everyone appears on the same map in seconds. No friend lists, no permanent groups, no setup headaches. WHAT YOU GET • Live team map — every member's position updates in real time while the app is open • Points of interest — labeled pins for rally points, objectives, hazards, anything you need everyone to know • Lines and areas — draw routes, boundaries, and zones that everyone sees instantly • Group chat — session-scoped, real-time text messaging PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every session is its own island. You only see data from sessions you're part of — even if you belong to multiple. Location, pins, and chat are all protected at the database level, not just hidden in the UI. COOPERATIVE, NOT COMPETITIVE Tacnav is a team tool. Everyone in a session is on the same side. No red vs blue, no kills, no scoring — just shared awareness for the people doing the work.
