About

Alert Map. GPS

Features
Read full description

Ukraine’s air alert map and autonomous navigation without GPS or internet. Monitor air raid alerts and threat reports in your regions, receive notifications, download offline maps and navigate by compass and landmarks. Available in Ukrainian and English. AIR ALERT MAP, RADAR AND MY REGION • Interactive air alert map across all 24 oblasts of Ukraine and Kyiv: start time, duration, update times and change history. • My Territory and selected regions: subscribe to your oblast, district or community (where supported) and track regions for family and trips. • Nearby threats and monitoring radar: feed and map markers (UAVs/drones, missiles, ballistics, aviation, guided bombs, artillery) with time, direction, source and viewing radius. • Community feed (Live): nearby eyewitness reports, your own observations and community ratings. • Notification rules for your region and saved places (Home, Work, Shelter): siren sounds, vibration, voice and background delivery checks. • Widgets, Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and Apple Watch: selected regions status, alert timer and data freshness. • Alert statistics: average duration from past alerts, not an all-clear forecast. Fresh data requires internet. Delivery and sound depend on device permissions and settings. Markers represent observations, not confirmed real-time target tracking. The app does not replace official sirens. NAVIGATION WITHOUT GPS When GPS is unavailable or inaccurate, mark your start on the map. Find an address, choose a saved place or drop a pin. Compass, steps or set speed help estimate movement. Walking and driving routes, full-screen map and voice prompts are available. Without GPS, position is approximate: check visible landmarks and update it manually. A route does not confirm that a road is safe or accessible. NAVIGATION WITHOUT INTERNET Online maps are enabled by default. Download needed regions or all Ukraine before travelling and choose offline mode. Packages include maps, addresses and roads for on-device routing. Check sizes and download progress; resume after a pause. Background activity depends on system limits. Prepare all regions for cross-oblast trips. Some addresses or road changes may be missing. ON YOUR CAR DISPLAY View routes and prompts via CarPlay. Prepare your starting point and maps on your phone before travelling. Requires a compatible phone and car system. Navigation without GPS remains an estimate. SHELTERS, FAMILY AND PREPARATION Saved places, shelter entrance notes, backpack and first-aid checklists with expiry dates. Check shelter access in advance. An offline family card keeps contacts and a meeting plan. Relatives confirm their status and card receipt; new updates require a connection. TOOLS AND REFERENCES Compass, flashlight, level, siren and Morse code, depending on hardware and permissions. Breathing and relaxation exercises and sound scenes. First-aid references from Ukraine’s Ministry of Health with source links and a trainer. These are reference materials, not diagnosis or treatment; they do not replace calling 103/112 or dispatcher instructions. Seek professional medical advice.
