A mission plan that works with no signal
Last updated 22 October 2026
In Vector, the team downloads the mission area to their phones while they have signal. After that the plan, the maps, terrain and weather open with no signal at all. Changes made offline are kept on the phone and sent when the signal comes back. Offline use is part of the Pro plan.
How it works
- Add Vector to the phone home screen from the browser. It is a web app (PWA), so no app store is needed. Native iOS and Android apps are in development.
- Open the mission and save it for the field. One button saves the mission, team, chat, photos, airspace, weather, map layers, terrain and the base map.
- Each mission shows whether it is field ready, partly covered or has no map, so you know before you lose signal.
- Offline, you can draw, move objects and write reports. Every change waits on the phone and is sent when there is signal.
In the field
The phone shows your GPS position, the MGRS grid reference, and the distance and direction to any object, with a night mode. One object or a whole mission can be sent from phone to phone by QR code: one phone shows the codes and the other scans them with the camera, with no network.
Price
Free costs nothing. Pro is EUR 6 per user a month, or EUR 60 a year, and every new account gets 14 days of Pro. Command is for whole organisations, by contract.
Questions
- Does Vector work offline on the Free plan?
- No. On Free, Vector works in the browser with a connection. Offline use on phones is part of Pro.
- What happens if two people edit the same plan offline?
- Each change is kept on its phone and sent when that phone has signal again. The plan on every screen then shows all of them.
