Not MAC or PC but Android GPS application for free on Play Store, HamGPS, will give you Lat/Lon and Grid automatically. 73, Bill NJ1H On 3/18/2014 2:33 PM, george hinkle wrote: I'm planning a trip this spring and plan on working some of the hard grids west of me.

If anyone knows of a program it sure would help me. I have a Mac or PC would prefer using the Mac. george wi9i ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

George, I typically rely on a single website when planning my rover adventures: http://qthlocator.free.fr/index.php Originally F6FVY put it together but it was later updated F5UKW. You can enter your home six digit grid and then work you way down to the areas you will be visiting. It utilizes the Google API which means you can look at map or satellite views. On my phone (Android) I utilize an application called LocatorDROID to tell me my 6 digit grid plus heading and distance to other grids. The QRZ.com GridMapper (www.qrz.com/gridmapper) will convert LAT/LON to grid but I still prefer the QTHLocator site referenced above. 73 Clayton W5PFG On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 1:33 PM, george hinkle gwhin...@msn.com wrote: I'm planning a trip this spring and plan on working some of the hard grids west of me.

George, Check this one out. It gives you a map of a selected Grid Square or the Grid of a Callsign or the Grid of an Address. Really cool!! http://www.levinecentral.com/ham/grid_square.php GL/73, Bob K8BL From: george hinkle gwhin...@msn.com To: Amsat - BBs AMSAT-BB@amsat.org Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 2:33 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] grid locator program I'm planning a trip this spring and plan on working some of the hard grids west of me.
