// Features

Built for operations and the outdoors

The app is being built offline-first: everything that matters works without mobile coverage. The feature set keeps growing until launch – scope and order may change.

Offline maps

Use your own map packages (MBTiles, PMTiles, GeoPackage), save areas and work in "offline only" mode.

In development

Military coordinates

Display and input in MGRS, USNG, UTM, UPS as well as decimal degrees, degrees/minutes and degrees/minutes/seconds. Coordinate grid on the map.

In development

Heading & bearing

True, magnetic and grid north – clearly labelled, with declination and meridian convergence.

In development

Track recording

Robust recording with segments and pause, even with the screen off. Warning on GPS loss.

In development

Waypoints & targets

Set points by GPS or coordinate, search, edit and navigate to them. Project points by bearing and distance.

In development

Alarms

Proximity alarm at points and a warning when you leave the planned route.

In development

Terrain & elevation

Hillshading from your own elevation data, altitude readouts, barometer with GPS calibration.

// Mark up the map

Draw operation areas, routes and symbols right on the map

Turn the map into a situation picture: draw areas and lines, tag points with symbols and organise everything in sets.

Areas (operation areas, restricted zones), lines (march routes), points
Symbols and labels for objects
Group objects into sets
Export to share with colleagues or your team

Note: Drawing and symbol marking is a core goal of the app. The scope of the symbol sets is not final yet.

// Use cases

For professionals. And for everyone who heads outside.

Security & response teams

Reliable navigation without network, coordinates in the format you know, marking of areas and routes.

Rescue & civil protection

Draw search areas, share positions, document tracks.

Hunting, forestry & surveying

Boundaries, stands and paths on your own maps – deep in the woods with no reception.

Hiking, trekking & expeditions

Plan, record and review tours with an elevation profile in the field.

SFC FieldMap is a standalone app. It does not replace certified command or operational systems and is not ATAK/CoT compatible. You are responsible for checking whether it fits a specific operational purpose.

// Pricing & availability

Pricing model to be announced

SFC FieldMap will be a paid app. Whether it will be a one-time purchase or a subscription is not decided yet. Sign up and you will be the first to know. The Android version comes first.
