Why real-time navigation
Arrive without second-guessing
In the field you have no time to puzzle over a map. Navigation mode guides you step by step along your route: the distance to the next waypoint in real time, the bearing in degrees and a visual arrow that keeps you on course. On arrival, MilMap automatically moves you on to the next point — even offline with pre-downloaded maps. So you stay focused on the terrain, not on your screen.
What navigation does
Everything you need to stay on course
Clear, colour-coded feedback that makes sense at a glance.
Direction & distance in real time
See the distance to your next waypoint and the bearing you need to hold at all times.
Visual navigation arrow
A large direction arrow shows your deviation from course, so correcting is intuitive.
Automatic arrival detection
Within 30 metres of a checkpoint, MilMap marks the point as reached automatically.
Sequential navigation
The app guides you through every waypoint on your route, one by one, in the right order.
Next-waypoint preview
See which point is coming up next, so you can anticipate your movement.
Navigate offline
With cached map tiles you keep navigating without a connection — right where it counts.
