This app provides offline maps with support for satellite, topographic, and standard maps. Download maps by simple grid squares and use them without an internet connection. The built-in MGRS grid offers precise location tracking using the Military Grid Reference System. Key features include offline access and MGRS support for navigation. Perfect for travel, hiking, and fieldwork. The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for geo-referencing, position reporting, and situational awareness during land operations. An MGRS coordinate does not represent a single point, but rather defines a square grid area on the Earth's surface. The location of a specific point is therefore referenced by the MGRS coordinate of the area that contains it. The MGRS is derived from the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) grid systems and is used as a geocode for the entire Earth. Examples: • 18S (Locating a point within the Grid Zone Designation) • 18SUU (Locating a point within a 100,000-meter square) • 18SUU80 (Locating a point within a 10,000-meter square) • 18SUU8401 (Locating a point within a 1,000-meter square) • 18SUU836014 (Locating a point within a 100-meter square) To satisfy special needs, a reference can be given to a 10-meter square and a 1-meter square as follows: • 18SUU83630143 (Locating a point within a 10-meter square) • 18SUU8362601432 (Locating a point within a 1-meter square) Subscription Details: • Payment will be charged to the Apple account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription can be managed and auto-renewal turned off in the user's account settings. • Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Privacy policy: http://www.alfarays.com/privacy_en.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MGRS Offline Map Satellite at 5.0 against TacticMap's 4.0. MGRS Offline Map Satellite also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). TacticMap's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TacticMap sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and MGRS Offline Map Satellite sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MGRS Offline Map Satellite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TacticMap has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of TacticMap's written reviews are positive against 50% of MGRS Offline Map Satellite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TacticMap ships an update every 6 days, MGRS Offline Map Satellite every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
