TinyLocator
version v2.2

A tiny but very complete Locator/Converter program
for Windows

FREEWARE!

What is TinyLocator?

• This program calculates the location of almost any type of locator, and....

• It calculates the distance, azimuth, longitude and latitude
  between two Maidenhead locators.

• Converts longitude/latitude coordinates to Maidenhead locator and vice versa

• Converts IARU locator & longitude/latitude coordinates to UI-View format coordinates (GPS = Global Positioning System) and vice versa.

• Converts between decimal and world (DMS) coordination's

• Supports several command-line arguments (ideal for batch use)

• Super easy to use
  

History:

Version 2.2

Version 2.1

• - Spaces in IRAU locators are removed to prevent wrong locator
  - Some Copy-buttons did not copy the correct contents
  to the clipboard

Version 2.0

• After almost 4 years of being dormant...finally a new release:
  Almost completely re-written from scratch
  Convert from and to:

  - World coordinates (DMS)
  - IARU-locator (Maidenhead)
  - UI-View format coordinates (GPS)
  Optional 'Stay on Top'
  Stores history of home and target locators
  Copy each type of converted coordinates to the clipboard
  Clear ALL history's
  Several bugs related to 1.2 solved
  Main .exe file renamed to Tinylocator.exe
  

Version 1.2

• New name that fits 'the bill' better: TinyLocator
  Includes a latitude/longitude to Maidenhead converter (and
  vise versa).
  Shows Km and Miles in distance
  Optional parameters when parsing locators in batch (commandline)
  

Version 1.0...1.1

  Known as DHT-Locator:
