Google map display of the location of the other station entered in the call sign input field

Post by zs6sky »

Good morning

Firstly a BIG Thank you to Daniele and the development team for a fantastic software package.
Works really well. Thank you so so much guys, version 2 is really nice.

Well all was working fine, until last night, just a niggally thing, the "Google map display of the location of the other station entered in the call sign input field" just suddenly stopped working last night.

Issue, when a call sign is entered either manually or remotely from WSJT-X (FT8) the map on the right is suddenly no longer working, it just does nothing, it does not move, its supposed to go to the grid location of the entered call sign, that part is no longer working, I don't know why?
I noticed that the operators name is no longer coming up, my primary info source was qrz.com, I am no longer a subscriber, my prescription expired, not renewed yet.
I changed this to HamQTH as per advise on this forum, this didn't help.

The only thing changed last night is that my logs were not getting uploaded to LOTW, so I checked the path, and changed it slightly, so its working now, on manual uploads, but doesn't seem to be doing it automatically, I logged two qso's on FT8 last night, but they did not upload to LOTW on exiting LOG4OM2

See attachment

version: 2.3.0.0
Windows 7 Prof 64 bit
No CAT control
WSJT-X version 2.1.2 0068f9
JT Alert version 2.15.8

Thanks for the help

Hi everyone

Having had no replies to my posting and wondering if it had anything to do with me not having a active QRZ subscription, I tried changing the info provider, still the same, tried setting a new profile, still the same, was just about to uninstall software, when version 2.4.0.0 got released, I uninstalled the previous version completely, rebooted and installed version 2.4
Issue is resolved, and everything is working fine again. :D
I am back to using QRZ.com as my primary info provider, I'll renew my subscription, as soon as I can afford to.

If there is not a grid reference in the grid field the map position cannot be calibrated

Something is wrong with your lookup to on line services
