Re: Maidenhead Grid Square Locator lookup and mapping page

My QRZ address is correct, but whatever you're using to parse the address is dropping most of mine.

Your QRZ address isn't found by Google. You can paste your QRZ address into »maps.google.com and see that.

If I don't get a hit on the address, I start dropping words from the left side of the address until Google returns me something. For your address pulled from QRZ, it's the PO Box value or Apt number or whatever the additional info is after the street address that is throwing Google off.

I don't know of a good way, using your specific address, to logically do a better job of pulling off the right side of your address. I could of course just drop the entire street address and just go with the city/state if I don't get a hit, but I've seen more accurate matches by Google if I start dropping from the left.

Thanks and welcome to DSL Reports!

It seems to be working well for whatever Google Maps can properly decode.
