The Team Awareness Kit (TAK) (known as the Tactical Assault Kit in the Department of Defense) application: iTAK is a collaborative geospatial application to see your teams’ locations, sensor information, videos, chat, and more in real-time. iTAK supports Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial sector standards for icons, sensor information, and communication. Data can be pre-loaded into iTAK or downloaded from the network (via TAK Server) when available. iTAK capabilities include: • Online and offline mapping (most standard formats), download the maps right in the app • Blue force / team tracking (BFT) • Collaborative mapping, including points, drawings, locations of interest • Import and display of KML, KMZ, GeoPDF overlays • Location marking, sharing, with photo tagging • Chat, file sharing, photo sharing • Live video streaming with the ability to share video links • Spotted map to mark and share multiple locations across your map • Digital pointer to rapidly mark and share items on the map with your team • Navigation-walking/hiking, driving, also useful flying and air-ground coordination • Center on self or other objects (e.g. another person in the network) • Range, bearing measurement tools • Team Emergency Beacons • Customizable toolbar • 3D perspective • All data is secured and fully compatibility with the TAK ecosystem (ATAK, TAK Server, WinTAK) • Useful for law enforcement, first responders, hunting, fishing, ornithology, wildlife site survey System Requirements Operating System: iOS version 16 and later.
App works well but with Meshtastic plugin was installed
The apps works and runs as it should, but I wish that the Meshtastic plugin was preloaded into it.
We need a windows version of Tak server
We really need a windows version of tak server asap.
Cool idea. Can’t get it to work
Love the idea of this app but I cannot figure out how to upload use or make offline maps. I tried downloading a bunch of different map files that didn’t work. Saw on these reviews you need a mbmaptile format and found a file I could use. But it says the file is too large. Some guy on YouTube figured it out but never explained how. Just shows him using the uploaded maps.
Stripped down ATAK
It’s cool to have something like the ATAK on iPhone, but it’s still in development for some needed things. One of the main things is that it runs in Apple Maps, but Apple Maps is severely out dated and the area has changed. It would be nice to run on google maps or something more updated
Pretty much worthless
Adding a server is such a hassle that it makes trying to use this app a waste of time. Would give 0 stars if possible.
ITAK for IPhone
I’ve been using this app for the better part of about 6 months now and from my experience it has provided me with anything I’ve needed it for A little background about me I’ve been involved with Search & Rescue going on 7 Years through FEMA, Civil Air Patrol, and the Lone Star S&R Response Team. I’ve been an MRO (Mission Radio Operator) and Ground Crew RTO (Radio Telephone Operator) these are the situations I’ve had use with the App for. With that being said there is always room for improvement🤙🏻 R61R TX-085
Adding people
I’d like a detailed review on how to add people in a group cause I’m finding it hard to do so
