Tactical NAV is a military-grade MGRS navigation app with offline mapping and ultra-precise targeting designed for soldiers. It claims accuracy within 1mm of DoD-approved systems and offers IAPs to extend capabilities, including tactical drawing and offline modes.

Pros & Cons

  • First MGRS-focused navigation app across all app stores
  • Offline mapping enables use without cellular data
  • Very high accuracy, claimed within 1mm of DoD-approved systems
  • Supports multiple coordinate systems (MGRS, UTM, BNG, USNG)
  • DoD does not endorse Tactical NAV or TACNAV-X, which may affect adoption in official contexts
  • Primarily targeted at military users; civilian usability may be more limited
  • Some advanced features are behind paid IAPs/subscriptions (e.g., drawing and offline mapping)

Comments on Tactical NAV for Android

★★★★★ Robert Benson · Jan 17, 2022
Excellent GPS and tactical military app. Will be utilizing this on jumps and field ops. Offline mapping works as described and the app, overall, is very easy to use. Recommended.
★★★★★ kathy springer · Jun 30, 2026
This is my son's app. He created this app during his combat tour to Afghanistan after two of his soldiers were killed. He continues developing Tactical NAV in honor of his fallen soldiers, and he also donates proceeds from the app to disabled veterans. Jonathan has given his heart and soul into making this app available for other soldiers, and it's his way of giving back to the military community. We love you son, and dad and I are proud of you!
★☆☆☆☆ Jim 2000 · Jul 10, 2025
Not very user-friendly. Doesn't allow you to delete things easily. Created an entire overlay and wanted to delete one drawing. Had it selected but kept saying I must select at least one event. Deselected and it deleted my entire overlay. Creator is overthinking it too. All these military symbols but not a standard CP symbol. No one is creating a BN overlay on this thing. Do the simple things right before trying to create a complex nav app.
★☆☆☆☆ Andrew Husser · Apr 23, 2022
Not at all what I thought it would be. From my experience so far the android version is subpar to that of the iphone. I've had the app for roughly 1.5 weeks, tried opening it today to work on an order, and it won't open. Force stoped it, restarted my phone, reinstalled the app. Nothing has worked.
★☆☆☆☆ Matt S · Jan 23, 2022
It took years after purchasing this app for the developers to finally make it work for Android. THEN I had to pay for it again because...you know...screw me, right? Now it crashes every time I try to open it and won't even open to the first screen. I'd demand my money back, but I don't expect these guys to have any kind of urgency in doing it. I'm a veteran like them and am really disappointed by these brothers in arms. Waste of money, full of frustration, no follow through from the developers.
★★☆☆☆ Mondrian Bogert · Aug 18, 2023
Was using this app as an OC at Ft Irwin. Worked well for a while, albeit location lock was a little laggy. However, app will now randomly wipe out all saved nav points and now no longer locks onto my position
