Alpine Quest: Tactical GPS Pro for iOS
About Alpine Quest: Tactical GPS Pro
Tactical GPS is the Swiss Army knife of navigation — everything you need in one app. Plan routes, navigate cross-country, record tracks, analyze terrain and share your map with your team — online or fully offline, with the precision of a purpose-built instrument. Made for soldiers, SAR teams, hikers, hunters and anyone who reads maps. Designed and built natively for iPhone and iPad. No cross-platform compromises. Just a fast, precise tactical navigation experience.
OFFLINE NAVIGATION — NEW
• Get routes with no signal: download routing data with your map regions (often just a few MB) — car, walking, hiking, cycling, MTB and river routes, calculated on your device
• Navigate to any pin along a real route — by car, on foot, hiking, trekking, MTB or by river
• Missed points are skipped automatically; Rejoin and Re-route bring you back on course
• Navigation continues with the screen locked — distance, bearing and ETA on your Lock Screen, alert on arrival
• Heading-up, course-up or north-up map rotation, with auto re-follow after you pan away
• Connection lost? Switch to your downloaded offline map in one tap
PLAN, NAVIGATE, TRACK
• Plan routes and areas directly on the map, online or offline
• Elevation profiles with slope colors, ascent/descent and estimated time
• Navigate point-to-point or along a route — live distance, bearing, ETA, back azimuth and elevation delta
• Record tracks with activities, laps, auto-pause and a Lock Screen Live Activity, then replay them on the map
• Set up geofences and proximity alerts on any pin
• Organize everything in layers, folders and tags — keep missions, trips and training areas separate
MAPS, ONLINE OR OFFLINE
• Download map regions, satellite imagery included, for fully offline use
• Add your own maps: WMS/WMTS, MBTiles, GeoTIFF, GeoPDF and AlpineQuest — stacked, with per-layer opacity
• 3D terrain view, live contour lines and hillshading
• MGRS, UTM, Lat/Lon or CK-42 grid overlay on every basemap
• Overlays for trails, cycling, ski slopes and sea marks
• Night-vision mode: red or green monochrome display across the entire app
FIELD & TERRAIN TOOLS
• Viewshed and line-of-sight analysis
• Range rings, radial ruler, bearings and point projections
• Distance and area measurement with per-segment labels
• NATO (APP-6) map symbols and custom pin icons
• Elevation and depth readings anywhere on the map
• On-position weather forecasts, sun and moon position
• Print maps to PDF at a chosen scale
PRECISION POSITIONING
• MGRS / UTM / USNG / Lat-Lon / CK-42 or any EPSG code, plus British, Irish, Swedish, Finnish, New Zealand, Indian and other national grids
• Dozens of map datums with proper transformations
• True, magnetic or grid north reference
• External Bluetooth GNSS receivers, with NTRIP corrections for RTK precision
• Import GPX, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, Shapefile, CSV, AlpineQuest and more
SHARE & SYNC
• Share a map layer with your team over iCloud: everyone sees pins, routes and shapes update live, attachments included. Invite-only, no accounts.
• Connect to a TAK server for real-time position, chat and data, with built-in certificate enrollment
• Export to GPX, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, CSV or DXF
• Back up everything into one file and restore it on any device
PERFECT FOR
• Land navigation and route planning
• Hiking, cycling and off-road exploration
• SAR and field operations
• Outdoor training and navigation exercises
Note: Route navigation, additional maps, unlimited overlays and layers, special tools, tracking, iCloud layer sharing and export features require a PRO upgrade.
