TinyLocator
version v2.0.1

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 2.0.1

  • when home- and target locator had 4 characters "1.#QNAN degrees" was calculated instead of 'none'.

Version 2.0

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