TacLink shares live positions for your whole side, even in your pocket. A Bluetooth mesh between nearby phones covers dead zones, and an organizer can cover a whole match with one pass.
A shared map, not a chat app. Background sharing, the Bluetooth mesh and local matches are in the latest version, so update every phone in the squad.
Shared live map and game zone
The host draws the playable area as a polygon. Everyone on your side sees the same map and the same friendly positions.
Sharing with the phone locked
Positions keep going out with the screen off or another app open. Android shows a notification, iOS shows a Live Activity. Sharing stops when the match ends.
Bluetooth mesh and bridge
Nearby phones swap positions, markers and status with no signal. When one teammate has signal, they upload the squad picture and bring back the rest of the side.
Local match, no server
The host phone creates the match and shows one QR code per side. Everything runs over the mesh. No server and no signal needed.
Player status
Hit, bleed-out countdown, dead and respawn. The host sets the bleed-out time. Teammates see your status and the other side does not.
Enemy markers and team pins
Double-tap the map to mark an enemy. Long-press to drop a team pin, then name and recolor it. Each marker shows its age.
Event map overlay
The organizer photographs the printed event map and aligns it over the live map. Every player sees it as an overlay.
Join by code, QR or link
A 6-character code, a QR code or a link gets players into a match or a team. One QR per side puts each player on the right side.
Staff roles and observers
Organizer and moderator roles run the match. Observers can join without playing. Staff see all sides on the map.
Friendly positions
See your whole squad, live
Everyone on your side shows up on the same map. When a teammate drops out of signal, TacLink keeps their last-known position and shows how old it is.
Live, relayed or meshEach marker shows where it came from and its age: live from the server, relayed by a teammate phone, or received over the Bluetooth mesh.
Built for dead zonesUpdates queue without signal and upload when it returns. The cached map keeps working.
Per-side visibilityA side never sees the other side's positions or status.
Enemy markers
Mark contacts the moment you spot them
Double-tap the map to drop an enemy marker. Long-press to drop a team pin and give it a name and a color. Your side sees both, and every marker shows its age.
Contacts on the mapMark movement where you saw it, without leaving the map.
Shared by server or meshMarkers reach teammates through the server or the Bluetooth mesh, so a sighting still spreads in a dead zone.
Age on every markerTell a fresh contact from an old one at a glance.

Questions
Good to know
What is TacLink?
TacLink is a mobile tactical map for airsoft and milsim. Your side shares a live map with the game zone, friendly positions, enemy markers and team pins. It keeps working with the phone locked and in dead zones.
Which platforms is it on?
TacLink is a native app for iOS on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. Install it on every phone in the squad and join a match with a code, QR code or link. Background sharing and the Bluetooth mesh are in the latest version, so update every phone.
Does it keep sharing with the phone locked?
Yes. In the latest version, position sharing continues with the screen locked or another app open, for the whole match. On Android a persistent notification shows while you share, and tapping it opens the live map. On iOS a Live Activity on the lock screen shows the match state and says Not transmitting if updates stop. Sharing ends when the match ends or when you tap Stop sharing.
Does it work without signal?
Within limits, yes. Nearby phones swap positions, markers, pins and status over a Bluetooth mesh, with no pairing. When one teammate has signal, their phone uploads the squad picture and brings back the rest of your side. That bridge needs live access: Pro, a credit or an organizer match pass. A local match runs with no server at all. Mesh range is squad range, tens of meters per hop with phones relaying for each other. It is not field-wide.
What does it cost?
TacLink is free to download, and new accounts get 3 welcome credits valid for 90 days. After that, live sync in a match costs one credit (from 1.99 EUR) or a TacLink Pro subscription (7.99 EUR per month or 59.99 EUR per year). An organizer can buy a match pass (24.99 EUR) to cover every player in one match. The offline pack (24.99 EUR, one-time) covers local matches. The stores show your local price.
Does every player need to pay?
No. If the organizer has a match pass, every player in that match is covered, in a server match or a local match. Without a pass, a player is covered by their own TacLink Pro or by a credit. Every new account starts with 3 welcome credits, and a credit is spent only when the match is live.
What is a local match?
A match with no server. The host phone creates it and shows one QR code per side. Players scan to join and everything runs over the Bluetooth mesh. Hosting needs the offline pack, Pro, a credit or a match pass. A player without any of those can join on an offline ticket from a host who covers the match with a match pass.
How is my location handled?
Location is shared only during an active match, and only with teammates on your side. Match staff see all sides. It is handled as transient realtime data, and session reports keep counts, not coordinates. Mesh payloads are encrypted with a per-side key. Full details are in the privacy policy. Read the privacy policy.
Does it drain the battery?
Live GPS uses battery. TacLink lowers GPS use when you are not moving, so lying in position costs much less than walking. Check your charge before a long match.
Can the other side see me?
No. Visibility is per side. A side never sees the other side's positions or status. Organizers and moderators, as match staff, can see all sides.
