TACMAPs display information on terrain and geography, provided by satellite imagery and topographic surveys. Accessible through [[data pad]]s or [[heads-up display]]s, these maps can be interfaced with navigation markers to identify targets, and relevant data can be shared through the [[UNSC battle network]].{{Ref/Reuse|fs2}} A unit's TACMAP is maintained by an intelligence [[squad]], responsible for gathering new data with reconnaissance [[drone]]s and establishing TACMAP linkups to HUDs.{{Ref/Novel|Id=fs9|Halo: Silent Storm|Chapter=8}} | TACMAPs display information on terrain and geography, provided by satellite imagery and topographic surveys.

In [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]], the TACMAP is available on the "NAV" tab in the [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] database. Players can use the TACMAP to locate objectives and beacons in each level. The TACMAP provides real-time location of enemies (shown as red dots) and other players (shown as green dots) on the map. In campaign, players can place a waypoint on the TACMAP, and its location would also appear on the HUD's compass during gameplay. | In [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]], the TACMAP is available on the "NAV" tab in the [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] database.
