Capabilities

What ships with GeoNames TAK.

Team SA on the same map as GeoNames vector basemaps — join a TAK Server you host, fuse chat and location, and stay mission-ready offline.

PLI / Blue Force Tracking

Persistent TCP (port 8087) to FreeTAKServer, TAK Server XML, or WinTAK mesh. Configurable PLI interval, breadcrumb history, and GeoJSON track export.

Unified TAK / Mesh hub

One side-menu controller with three tabs — TAK Broadcast, GeoChat, and Meshtastic. Each menu entry opens the focused tab.

Geofencing

Enter / exit alerts so crews stay inside defined areas of interest.

Meshtastic + CoT bridge

LoRa mesh over TCP — protobuf chat, node telemetry, waypoints, and positions bridged into CoT and GeoChat on the same map.

Live CoT overlay

Incoming CoT rendered on MapLibre in real time — callsign, team color, MGRS, altitude, course, speed. Stale markers prune automatically.

Military symbology

APP6 / MIL-STD-2525C on the same stack as GeoNames search and offline AOI.

Vector tiles & offline AOI

Vector tile basemaps, reference data, GPKG / MBTILES, and pre-staged AOI packs for D-DIL ops.

GeoChat AI

On-device Gemma translation (EN/ES/FR/DE), entity extraction, dictation, and TTS — nothing leaves the device.

TLS certificates

.p12 / .pem / .cer client and CA certs in a dedicated manager — Keychain-only storage for TAK Server auth.

BYO TAK Server

Bring your own secure TAK Server. Tech Maven does not host TAK infrastructure.

Why not just ATAK / iTAK?

ATAK and iTAK own the tactical chat and SA lane. GeoNames Map Explorer adds place-name intelligence and offline GIS on the same device as TAK — data fusion for the operator, not another siloed client.

  • Vector tile basemaps — fast online / offline
  • GeoNames / GNIS place-name intelligence
  • AOI offline packs, GPKG / MBTILES, in-app converters
  • Operator GIS tools beside CoT, GeoChat, and team PLI
  • Same stack for source-code / enterprise programs

*Provide your own secure TAK Server. Tech Maven Geospatial does not host TAK infrastructure.
