Tactical NAV: Military Grade Navigation for iPhone

iPhones have come a long way over the years. They are more than just a smartphone for everyday use. In fact, soldiers in Afghanistan are now using the Tactical NAV app on their iPhone to capture enemy forces.

I’m currently deployed to Afghanistan, and we took heavy enemy rocket and mortar fire in the middle of the night.

said a U.S. Soldier, whose name is withheld for security reasons. Thanks to Tactical NAV, they were able to get to the building insurgents were located. This military grade navigation app has offline mapping capabilities, waypoint plotting, and compass fastlock function. It has a night mode for low-light conditions. You can get it for $8.99 at this time.
