Hello Everyone,

I have recently released a mapping software for Android Phones and Tablets.

This Android App has the Civil Air Patrol Grid already setup on 4 different types of maps.

Having done several SAREX's and Actual Missions, I know that sometimes the hardest part
of planning, is trying to get up to date maps of the terrain around.  This also is especially hard
for UDF teams, not just Ground Teams.

For Air Crews, this will give a good way to see what the ground teams are looking at, since we
tend to fly using Aerial Sectional Maps, which can be a challenge sometimes for Ground Teams.

I would recommend everyone that is involved in Emergency Services check it out.

Right now, I have put up the APP for "California Wing", but am planning (if the demand is there)
to release a version for each Wing.  The more demand there is for a particular wing, the more priority
I will give releasing that Wings.

Here is the page on Google Play for everyone to look at.  I have screen shots on there for anyone that
is curious, and isn't in California Wing, but might want one for theirs.

If you have any questions, feel free to write me back, I look forward to any an all questions.

Looks pretty cool.  Let me know when you get around to the Southeast.  Here in MS, we need 4 Sectionals to cover all of our AO...

In California Wing we use 2 Sectionals (LAX and SFO), Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I have no problems starting the next one in your area.  I will put you down for 1 vote to start in Mississippi.  :)

Actually it requires five sectionals to cover all of California - LA, Phoenix, Las Vegas, SF, and Klamath Falls.

You are right that parts of Phoenix, Las Vegas and Klamath Falls overlap into California.
I am adding those over lapping sections soon, and they will be upgraded in the program soon.

However, for 90% of SARs and SAREX's, LAX and SFO are the one's used the most.

Oooh.  I would like to put in a vote for PAWG.

Also, maybe TXWG and INWG would be a good idea, too, since they both have ES academies located in their state.

Hell, my house is on 3 sectionals (ATL, LUK and STL)

You could cover Mississippi and Alabama in one swoop by adding the Houston sectional...

People asked for it, so here it is.

Arizona's got their very own "Emergency Services" GPS Grid Map now.

I made some improvements over the California one (which will be implemented soon).

Here is the link for the Arizona Wing Play Store Page.

As, always if anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions for improving this app, I am all ears.
