SOTA Goat1.8.1 - App Store

SOTA Goat is the all-in-one summit database and spotting application for participants of the Summits On The Air amateur radio program.

It was designed from the ground up as an invaluable tool for summit activators - as necessary as your transceiver and power supply! SOTA Goat provides all the tools to aid in planning and completing your activation.

Mountain Goats and Shack Sloths alike will appreciate the comprehensive summit database and search features, as well as the ability to view and share summit activations and signal reports over SOTAwatch.

This is a universal app that is available for all devices that support iOS 11+, including iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

OFFLINE SUMMIT DATABASE:

. Every summit in the SOTA database is available offline: search, browse, and view a map
