Current limitations
Unavailable and planned capabilities kept separate from today’s app
This section exists so nothing elsewhere has to be vague. A capability is either usable in the current TestFlight beta or it is listed here, and the distinction between planned, unsupported, and built-but-unreachable is kept rather than flattened into a roadmap.
Planned means designed and not present: downloadable offline maps, offline-first sync with a durable outbox, Garmin and inReach integration, nearby mesh networking, a weather overlay, an in-app AI assistant, and Expedition Mode all sit here. None of them can be turned on today.
Unsupported means it is not on the path at all right now. STALKR does not carry Crew locations, Journey data, or SOS over any satellite network, and it does not draw, import, optimize, or turn-by-turn plan a Route — Routes come from completed Tracks.
Built but unreachable is the third case, and it is the one that misleads most easily: rally points exist in the codebase with no screen that mounts them, so no Crew can set, see, or clear one. Google map tiles being cached opportunistically is not offline map support either, and none of it should be planned around.
Current STALKR Limitations
The current beta has no guaranteed offline basemap, durable offline mutation queue, public Android release, satellite transport, turn-by-turn Route planner, Weather overlay, or in-app AI assistant. Background, push, and paid-store paths have device/infrastructure dependencies.
Does STALKR Support Offline Maps?
No. Current Google map tiles may be opportunistically cached, but STALKR has no downloadable offline regions or safety-grade offline basemap guarantee. MapLibre/PMTiles work is planned only.
What Works Without Connectivity?
Local GPS and already-loaded in-memory state can continue in limited ways, but current remote mutations are not durably queued. Starting a Track, creating objects, publishing Crew state, and delivering SOS/alerts generally require connectivity.
Does STALKR Work With Garmin or inReach?
No current Garmin or inReach integration is available. Pairing, MapShare ingestion, and satellite relay are roadmap research only.
Does STALKR Use Satellite Messaging?
No. STALKR does not currently transport Crew locations, Journey data, or SOS over Apple, Android, Garmin, or another satellite network. A phone’s system satellite emergency features are separate.
Is Expedition Mode Available?
No. Expedition Mode is a planned battery/off-grid concept and is not a selectable mode in the current beta.
