Military Defense & Intelligence

Operator-grade mapping built from NGA GEOINT App Store heritage — MGRS / GARS, APP6 & MIL-STD-2525C, offline AOI, and encrypted field data.

Mission stack

Built for the field — not the briefing deck.

Coordinate systems, symbology, terrain, and secure data paths operators actually use.

01

Grid reference

Display and navigate in MGRS and GARS. Go-to-coordinate and convert to/from lat-long in-app.

02

Military symbology

APP6 and MIL-STD-2525C warfighting symbology for map annotation and operational graphics.

03

Terrain & elevation

Topo / terrain basemaps with contour lines, elevation, and hillshade — plus offline terrain tiles for custom AOI.

04

GRG & ranging

Grid Reference Graphics, distance & bearing, magnetic declination for land / sea / air navigation.

05

TAK client

TAK Server API* — BFT / blue-force tracking, secure messaging, and data share. Bring your own TAK server.

06

Encrypted stores

SQLCipher AES-256 encrypted databases and map data packages for sensitive deployments.

07

Offline AOI

GeoRequest AOI API — curated basemaps, GeoNames, and optional layers pulled once, then operated D-DIL.

08

User data load

MBTILES (vector / raster), GPKG, GeoJSON, in-app vector converter, map export & draw / annotation tools.

*Provide your own secure TAK Server. Tech Maven Geospatial does not host TAK infrastructure. TAK = Team Awareness Kit / Tactical Assault Kit.

Vs ATAK / iTAK

Vector tile basemaps and reference data — on the same device.

ATAK and iTAK own the tactical chat and SA lane. GeoNames Map Explorer adds what those clients do not carry the same way: fast vector-tile maps, AOI offline packs, and government place-name intelligence.

Operator UI

Symbology and grid systems on device.

APP6 / 2525C symbol construction and MGRS-aware map views — the same mobile stack used when commercial maps fail and foreign place-name pronunciation matters.
