Updated NWCG (National Wildfire Coordinating Group) GeoOps point symbology for ATAK, WinTAK, TAK Aware, and CloudTAK, aligned with the 2025/2026 National Incident Feature Service (NIFS) standards (PMS 936).
This is a community-maintained update to the original GeoOps iconset. If you're still running the 2021 version, this brings it current with the latest NWCG symbology — including Structure Triage, Point Repair Status, UAS, IR points, and several color corrections.
Feedback welcome. If you spot a missing icon, color issue, or grouping problem, please open an issue.
