## 红网格链接:离线MGRS导航与团队协同 红网格链接是一款移动应用程序(目前iOS,Android即将推出),可在*无需*蜂窝网络的情况下提供离线MGRS导航和团队位置跟踪。它基于红网格MGRS引擎构建,使用GPS提供1米精度,并支持带有MGRS网格叠加的离线地图。 主要功能包括方位、距离、推算航位和坐标转换等战术工具,以及北约语音字母表读数。**现场链接**通过蓝牙/WiFi Direct实现零配置团队同步,支持2-8名用户,在地图上显示队友位置,并对超出范围的用户使用加密数据和“幽灵”标记。 提供省电的远征模式。用户可以下载地图包(USGS地形图、OpenTopoMap)并将任务数据导出为PDF。该应用程序可适应各种任务(搜救、荒野探险、狩猎、训练),并具有可定制的术语和主题。 定价从具有有限功能的免费版本到解锁完整功能的订阅/终身选项不等,包括无限地图下载和团队管理。红网格链接优先考虑隐私 – 无账户、分析或第三方数据收集。它是开源的,并欢迎社区贡献。

## 红网格链接:离线团队追踪 红网格链接是一款新的免费iOS应用程序,专为在没有蜂窝网络覆盖的区域进行可靠的团队追踪而设计。它由一名户外探险爱好者创建,允许iPhone通过蓝牙直接共享位置数据,无需昂贵的无线电或依赖服务器的系统,例如ATAK。 该应用程序在离线地形图上显示队友位置,标记会随着用户超出范围而逐渐消失。定制构建的无冲突复制数据类型 (CRDT) 同步层可确保数据一致性,即使在蓝牙频繁断开连接的情况下也能保证。安全性是优先考虑事项,采用AES-256-GCM加密,并提供可选的PIN码/二维码会话访问。 开发者正在寻求用户反馈,以改进这个针对户外团队常见问题的实用解决方案,提供一种简单易用的替代追踪方法。它与开发者的另一款应用程序红网格MGRS集成,使用相同的坐标系统。

Red Grid Link

Download on App Store Get it on Google Play License No Tracking Offline First MGRS Native AES-256 Flutter Tests Platform PRs Welcome Buy Me a Coffee

Offline MGRS navigation and proximity team coordination for small teams (2-8 people). No cell service needed.

Built on the MGRS engine from Red Grid MGRS. Field Link adds zero-config proximity sync over Bluetooth and WiFi Direct -- your team appears on the map the moment they're in range.

Available now on iOS. Android version coming soon.



Live Military Grid Reference System coordinates with 1-meter precision. GPS Kalman filter for smooth, accurate position tracking. MGRS grid overlay on offline maps from GZD down to 100m resolution. Bearing, distance, dead reckoning, resection, pace count (with accelerometer step detection), declination, and coordinate conversion tools. NATO phonetic voice readout for hands-free grid calls.

Field Link -- Team Sync Without Infrastructure

Zero-config proximity sync over BLE + WiFi Direct (Android) / AWDL (iOS). Devices within range automatically discover each other and share encrypted position and marker data. No internet required. No pairing codes. No servers.

  • 2-8 devices per session
  • AES-256-GCM encryption with ECDH P-256 ephemeral session keys
  • Tiered session security: Open, PIN, or QR code authentication
  • Delta payloads under 200 bytes per position update
  • Ghost markers with time-decay visualization when teammates disconnect
  • Velocity vectors project last-known movement direction
  • Expedition Mode: <3% battery/hr (BLE-only, 30s updates)
  • Ultra Expedition Mode: <2% battery/hr (BLE-only, 60s updates)
  • Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff on disconnect

Download map packs from USGS Topo (public domain) and OpenTopoMap for full offline operation. Maps are cached locally as MBTiles with MGRS grid lines rendered as a dynamic overlay.

One engine, four presentation layers. Terminology, icons, and quick actions adapt to your mission:

  • Search & Rescue -- sector assignments, clue markers, search patterns
  • Backcountry -- camp, waypoint, and trail navigation
  • Hunting -- stand locations, game sightings, property boundaries
  • Training -- exercise objectives, rally points, phase lines

Dead Reckoning, Resection, Pace Count, Bearing/Back Azimuth, Coordinate Converter (MGRS/Lat-Lon/DMS/UTM), Range Estimation, Slope Calculator, ETA/Speed Calculator, Magnetic Declination, Celestial Navigation, MGRS Precision Reference.

One-tap PDF export: map snapshot, mission timeline, track data, timestamps, team roster, markers, and session log. Share via AirDrop, file share, or any local transfer.

Red Light (night vision, free), NVG Green (Pro), Day White (Pro), Blue Force (Pro).


Open Red Grid Link and your MGRS position appears on the offline map. Navigate using bearing, distance, and dead reckoning tools -- identical to Red Grid MGRS but with a full map view and 11 tactical tools.

  1. Start a session -- tap one button to begin broadcasting over BLE
  2. Set security -- choose Open, PIN, or QR code authentication
  3. Teammates appear -- any device running Red Grid Link within range (~50-100m open, 20-60m woods) is automatically discovered
  4. Positions sync -- AES-256-GCM encrypted delta updates flow between all devices at configurable intervals
  5. Ghosting -- if a teammate moves out of range, their last-known position remains on your map with time-decay opacity (100% to outline over 30 minutes)
  6. Reconnect -- when a ghost comes back in range, their marker snaps to live position

No accounts. No servers. No cell service. No configuration. It just works.
