Originally designed and sold exclusively to U.S. Government personnel via the NGA GEOINT App Store — now public on the Apple App Store. Same operator-grade stack. Same mission DNA.
The story
The Innovative Application Provider Program (IGAPP) ended and the app was removed from the NGA’s GEOINT App Store — but demand from operators never did.
Selected as IGAPP Grand Challenge Winner with $20,000 prize money for GeoNames Map Explorer.
Built and sold exclusively to U.S. Government personnel through the NGA GEOINT App Store.
Units at NGA, DoD, and other agencies praised the app — and asked to bring their data and features in.
On the Apple App Store for evaluation — with white-label and source-code paths for mission programs.
What’s next
Most people never heard this story — the IGAPP channel closed before the market caught up. If your unit, agency, or program needs GeoNames-grade offline mapping with custom data and features, we build to those requirements.
