Square Map ???

[MD0MDI]

I noticed in the latest update 6.46 Beta 5 that you have a new feature stated:

Square Map
- Square numbers inscribed inside map

Where do I find this in the software? It sound interesting, but I cannot seem to locate it.

Hello James,

There are two possibilities to see the square map:

• View - Worked Locators - Show Map
  Contest (VHF) - New/Continue - Square Map

Arrr,, Great, Nice Addition...

Thanks

[MD0MDI]

Can I make a suggestion?

I like it that the locations of the contacts show up, but would it be possible to shade the actual squares in the zoomed out mode as well that when you zoom in, i.e in the zoomed in mode you get the smaller squares, but in the zoomed out mode you can view the major squares. If this is switchable (i.e. on or off) it would be great too.

Also, how do you select an area to zoom in on?

Also would it be possible to add a graphic at the bottom of the dialogue box to explain what the different colours mean?

Just a suggestion, thanks anyway..

Ben, Anychance yo can point me in the right direction regarding the zooming in on certain areas???

Sri, I forgot to answer your previous message.
The zooming is fixed around the own location.

And I'm not sure what you mean with "...shade the actual squares ...".

OK, In the zoomed out mode, it would be nice if you could enable the major squares that you see in this mode to be shaded if contacts have been made in these squares, i.e. a 20% gray so as not to hide the coloured dots that can be seen within them.

OK, if you cannot zoom in on a set area, how can you see what squares you are missing say in another continent??? Any chance this feature can be added, it would make this new feature really useful, how else can I see what squares I am missing or got around the world.

If you enter a locator in the QSO work window, you see in the main window if it is a new one.
You do not need the square map for it.
