UI user defined map

Post by zl2aww »

The world map on the main UI show zone 1 (Africa / Europe) as the centre. Is it possible to show zone 3 (Australia / New Zealand) in the centre. The settings do have a selection for “user define world map” but where can I find maps to use, size of map and how is it calibrated to show the correct signal path.

Andrea,

Zone 1 is showing as that appears to be what you selected when setting up Log4OM.

Go to: Settings / Configuration / Station Information ...

Then check what IARU Region you have selected. You should have selected "3" from the dropdown.

You should also be sure to enter in your 6-digit Grid Square (RF71pd) on that same page.

Once you do that tap the "Save and Apply" and then also restart Log4OM and see if the map in the Main UI screen (Map F6) is closer to your area.

Lele or Terry may be able to answer your question about "user defined world map" as I'm not able to.

Hi
I do have the settings as suggested, IARU Zone = 3 and my Gridsquare as RF71pd. It does not change the UI to zone 3. See attached screenshot

Good point we really should centre the left hand path map on the location of the users station locator instead of the zero degree line of GMT.

Something to add for the future so I am moving topic to feature suggestions

Andrea,

Terry is spot on. I mis-reread your post and was thinking about the map in the 'right' panel of the Main (F6) view.

The left panel does show the overall 'global' or )-degree GMT center.

So, good observation and (as Terry noted) will add to a future enhancement.
