Re: Maidenhead Grid Square Locator lookup and mapping page
Thanks guys. The biggest factor for the accuracy is Google's ability to map your address properly. Google Maps site (service) does the geocoding based on what I pass it. For a call sign, I get the address from QRZ and use that.
I asked DrJim for his call sign. Using jacour's call sign, Google doesn't find the location based on the address on QRZ. You can go to Google Maps at »maps.google.com and paste in your address and see that it doesn't find it. Do you find anything that you can enter in Google that finds your home address based on the town in QRZ. It finds it based on the town you have on your profile here on DSLR.
If I enter in your address from QRZ replacing that town with the one on your DSL profile, it seems to map it accurately to a street. The grid though based on that street is different then what you have on QRZ. QRZ shows EN62cd and I get EN82cd which seems accurate if the street shown is yours. What are you seeing?
