Use Case · Prepared Citizens, Off-Road & Camping

Keep your group together, off the grid

See where everyone in your group is, message and talk with no cell signal, and mark the trail, camp, and hazards on a shared map. TAK server, mesh, a portable server, and an optional satellite uplink — for overlanding, camping, and staying prepared well beyond cell range.

The problem

Off the grid, out of contact

On the trail, at camp, or when the grid is down, cell service is the first thing to go. Your group spreads out across the terrain, radios do not show you where anyone is, and no one can regroup on a plan. MAGK gives everyone the same live map over its own mesh, running on a small portable server you bring along.

What you can do

What your group gets

Group tracking

See everyone on one map

Live positions for every vehicle and person in your group on a shared map, so you always know where everyone is and can regroup without guessing.

  • Live positions for the whole group
  • Mark trails, camp, water, and hazards
  • Standard CoT — works with common TAK apps
  • Runs on the phones and tablets you already carry

Navigation

Mark the route and the good spots

Drop waypoints for the trailhead, camp, a fuel cache, or a hazard, and share them instantly so the whole group navigates from the same plan.

  • Waypoints for trail, camp, water, and hazards
  • Share a route so everyone follows the same plan
  • Bring your own offline maps of the area
  • Attach a photo to a spot worth remembering

Comms

Message and talk with no signal

Text and voice ride the MAGK Net mesh with no cell service, so your group stays in contact spread across a trail, a ridge, or a campsite.

  • Text and voice with no cellular dependency
  • The whole group on a shared channel
  • Messages queue out of range and send on reconnect
  • Range extends as vehicles and people spread out

Portable server & uplink

Fits in the rig

A small portable server hosts everything, so it works with no internet at all. Add a satellite uplink like Starlink for a check-in home or a weather pull, and losing it never affects the group on the ground.

  • Full map and comms with no uplink present
  • Devices connect to the portable server over MAGK Net
  • Optional Starlink-class uplink for a check-in home
  • Uplink loss does not affect the group on the ground

How it connects

TAK, Net, and Devices working together

The shared picture, the connection that carries it, and the kit that runs it in the field.

  1. MAGK TAK

    The shared picture

    TAK server and client. Group positions, waypoints, routes, and a shared map, spoken over standard Cursor on Target.

  2. MAGK Net

    The connection

    Mesh radio that carries the map, text, and voice across the trail and camp where there is no cell signal.

  3. MAGK Devices

    The field kit

    A portable server and end-user hardware. Hosts everything in the rig and links the group into the mesh, with an optional satellite uplink.

Everyone connects to the portable server over MAGK Net. The server hosts the map in the rig, so the group stays connected with no internet. A satellite uplink adds a check-in home when present; when it drops, the group on the ground carries on uninterrupted.
