The mission of IGAPP is to streamline the deployment of commercial mobile apps to government personnel by bridging the gap between traditional government contracting procedures and non-traditional businesses.

Used in conjunction with the desktop version of the software, Global Mapper Mobile supports hundreds of GIS data formats - both raster and vector - and offers simple, form-based field data collection and geotagged photo capture.

To address the specific needs of the Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) community, the IGAPP version of Global Mapper Mobile includes streaming access to online data services and the ability to store downloaded tiles for remote offline use.

"IGAPP provides mission-relevant, cyber secure mobile apps to warfighters, aviators, mariners, and first-responders," according to John Holcomb, IGAPP Program Manager at Engility. "The program provides commercial vendors with a rapid, cost effective, path to sell their products. We are thrilled to add Global Mapper Mobile to the store and look forward to getting it into the hands of DoD users."
