Description
Compute distance and bearing using Maidenhead location. This was originally intended for use by amateur radio operators who participate in microwave communications however it can be used by any ham in order to determine a distance and bearing to another radio amateur.
If you want to see maps of the source and target with annotations and overlays as well as be able to touch the map to determine the grid at a particular point, then take a look at our App: DBHamPlus.
What’s New

Ratings and Reviews
Needs work
Using picker wheels to enter a 6-character grid is clumsy. This app really needs a keyboard feature. Also does not rotate on the screen as my iPad is rotated as any normal app would.
Communistic metric
Not designed to be used in the United States, couldn't find a settings button to switch to miles instead of this communistic metric crap.
Developer Response ,
The United States contest (ARRL Microwave) that this App is used and was written for, scores contacts in kilometers not miles. I decided that if I allowed the program to display miles then it would be likely that someone would enter miles for their score instead of kilometers. If for example you made a 161 kilometer microwave contact and forgot that you were displaying miles, you would score the contact as 100 points instead of 161. So, that’s why I decided to not have miles conversion in my free App.
Supporting a fellow ham!
Great little app surely more great features to come!
