Hey folks I finally got a this Public Safety Land Survey Plugin built. For years I just had a datapackage for california that worked but has no rendering control for zoom etc. Now we have an ATAK plugin and it covers all of CONUS. Guide is on there so you can see what it looks like and how it works.
Hey all I have another ATAK Plugin.
So after creating the PLSS plugin so we could have that as an overlay over any map I got to thinking about some of the other pain points in ATAK with map data.
You have to side load digital terrain data. Download a zip file then use the atak import tool yada yada. The same goes for map data etc.
That ends now with the MapDepot Plugin. This allows you to browse for the state you want in 3D and just download it. Need the local district ranger map in a geopdf? Just download it and it puts it directly in ATAK. This also allows you to load a large variety of streaming map sources like Google that dont come with ATAK that before you would have to side load. Last is a vector tile package map of every national forest and BLM area that you download just what you need.
Download the plugin on your Android, ATAK will recognize it and load it.

I promise a video on this one as well but I did put a sneak peek up a few posts above about what this update has. So now you can download all sorts of offline and streaming maps from Forests and Districts as well as browse the public NIFC FTP, and the UAS Wildfire Collaborative FTP.
Its time just to get on Amazon and get a used Samsung S21 plus phone or S7(+) or newer tablet. Once you get hooked into a TAK Server this gets even crazier with real-time intel flowing.
If you are in Colorado you already understand this. Some good news about a CA effort in the works.

I dont have a video YET for this one but wanted to get it out there.
This Feature Layer plugin allows you to…
- R5/CA bring in all the OES FIRIS, USFS, CAL-FIRE INTEL missions and national daily wildfire perimeters etc into ATAK.
- Log into the NIFC AGOL with your credentials, search for a fire and sync the National Incident Feature Service to ATAK for offline use and it syncs it every 5 minutes. This is not syncing the enter NIFS just the fire you want. You can also search for features, like type in Drop Point 41 and it will zoom you there if you want. If you have the vehicle nav plugin it will even route you there. I have an archive demo you can check out from Dragon Bravo Fire.
- Log into SARCOP for you USAR types. Has the training missions that are wide open
- Add your own AGOL org
So this gives you the benefit of the NIFS for wildfire plus all the nav and comms stuff ATAK brings you. Here is link to github so you can check out the guide etc and its downloadable if you use the TAKwerx Market Plugin.
