PLSS Grid draws the Public Land Survey System — townships, ranges and sections — on the ATAK map as a live overlay, from BLM's own survey record (CadNSDI). Fully offline once you download the states you work in.

Install: download the APK that matches your ATAK-CIV version, sideload it, then load it from ATAK's Plugins manager.

File For ATAK-CIV
ATAK-Plugin-PLSS-0.3--5.6.0-civ-release.apk 5.6
ATAK-Plugin-PLSS-0.3--5.7.0-civ-release.apk 5.7
ATAK-Plugin-PLSS-0.3--5.8.0-civ-release.apk 5.8

All three are built and signed by tak.gov from the 0.3 source submission. The 5.7 and 5.8 builds have been run on hardware; the 5.6 build has not — it is the same 0.3 source, built for the 5.6 API, but no test device here runs ATAK 5.6. If you are on 5.6, please report anything that misbehaves.

What's in 0.3

  • Township and section grid with names and numbers, readable at every zoom; two zoom tiers so the map stays fast.
  • Per-state data packs downloaded on request and verified before install; neighboring states merge cleanly along state lines.
  • Find township by principal meridian, township and range.
  • One color control per tier (lines + labels together), readable on any background, remembered across restarts.
  • Ships orange townships / white sections.
