If you are asking if there's a way to click on the map and get the grid square, then no. You can type in a location in the top address field and that will find the location and show the grid for it. If you want to pan/scan the map and then click on it to get the grid, I'd suggest checking out <a href="http://no.nonsense.ee/qthmap/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://no.nonsense.ee/qthmap/</a> or <a href="http://f6fvy.free.fr/qthLocator/fullScreen.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://f6fvy.free.fr/qthLocator/fullScreen.php</a> Rod – Thanks for the comment.

I like it a lot. Is there a way to find a location on the map, and get the resulting 6-digit grid easily? It might be there alraed. If so, I have apparently missed it.

One suggestion, can it be enhanced to handle locators of more than 6 characters? If I have a device that gives me an 8 character locator, can you narrow it down more on your mapping function? 73 -sw- Thanks for the Maidenhead locator site.

I also added some additional info and link the call sign displayed to QRZ. I threw in a clear button to clear the form. If an address it entered, it maps that. If no address and a call sign is entered, it maps that. If only a grid square is entered it plots that. I added the ability to specify a grid square (4 or 6 characters) and plot that.

One nice feature that you didn't explicitly mention is that since it's powered by Google Maps, you can put in a location, like a state park, where you might be operating from without having to find the actual address. One suggestion: If you could add in a feature to allow entry of a 4 or 6 character grid square it would have pretty much everything. I have a grid square locator on my k2dbk.com website that does just that, but I like yours better anyway. 73, David, K2DBK Really nice job David.
