Battletac even allows you to draw out your own map taking your team coordination to a whole new level. As long as your team sticks to the plan, Battletac will allow you to know where friendlies are at all times.
If you end up getting hit, you can indicate your current status to the app – that way your team will know if you’re still with them or eliminated from the game.

Battlemap also features GPS mapping, a great feature to have when you need to gain your bearings on the battlefield.
The original name of the app used to be “Overwatch,” but the popularity of the game with the same name forced the creators to search for another name. Battlemap is available on Android and Apple devices.
3) Hop Up
Hop Up is an app that was created to bring the airsoft community together through buying, selling, and interaction with community members. Hop Up is very much akin to Craigslist, but for airsoft.
