Thanks to free on-line geo mapping tools, it is now possible to create a map of your contacts. Several applications offered to the amateur radio community by talented developers are now available on-line. Almost all of these tools are based on grid square locators conversion algorithm, external mapping services such as Google maps API integration and often require a standard ADIF or EDI logbook file as input.
Here are some of the most interesting resources available on the web.

LogView is a free post-contest log-visualisation tool, for analysing contest performance. It plots the QSOs in a Cabrillo-format contest-log on to one of 8 different maps by finding the position of each QSO from an online database of about 970,000 W/VE callsigns.
This web application will read in a ham radio ADIF file produced by many logging programs and map contacts on a Google map. This simple tool converts also the log file into a KML file that can be easily downloaded and imported into Google Earth for a tridimensional view of your QSOs.
