GCM is a freeware great circle map plotting software for windows, you can choose colours, scale, meridians, fields and or squares from the maidenhead locator system.

A large jpeg DX World map that include ITU Zones, grid squares and prefixes. This high-resolution DX World Map is an essential tool for amateur radio operators. It clearly displays ITU zones, CQ zones, grid squares (Maidenhead Locator), and DXCC prefixes, helping you to plan QSOs, track propagation paths, and participate in global contests. Whether you are a seasoned DXer or a beginner, this map provides a clear, detailed view of the radio world, improving your station's efficiency and geographic awareness. Available in JPEG format, it's perfect for display

DXMaps.com presents a dynamic, real-time mapping service for amateur radio DX spots, integrating data from traditional DX clusters, _PSK Reporter_, and WSPR networks. The platform visually plots global QSO and SWL activity, enabling users to observe propagation conditions across various bands, from 2200m to >450 MHz. It offers distinct overlays such as the magnetic equator, gray line, moon footprint for EME, and VOACAP propagation predictions, providing a comprehensive view of radio wave behavior. The service allows granular filtering of displayed spots, including options to show only DX-Cluster data, PSK Reporter activity, or WSPR signals. Users can refine the map view by selecting specific bands (e.g., 160m, 20m, 6m, 2m), limiting spots to the last 15 minutes, or displaying only contacts exceeding **2600 km**. Additional features include the ability to toggle grid squares, aurora forecasts, and various amateur radio zones (CQ, ITU). Distinctively, the resource updates automatically every minute, ensuring current propagation intelligence without manual refresh. It also supports specialized views for EME, ionospheric scatter, and aircraft scatter, alongside FM DX and APRS activity. The platform emphasizes the importance of accurate locator information in DX spots to enhance data quality and offers a user manual and FAQ for guidance.

List and maps of European squares for each call area. You can use the list, to estimate the location, if you hear a station on the band who's locator you do not know.

This free PDF file contains two Worldwide grid square maps. The first map displays the fields (first two letters of a maidenhead locator) while the second includes also squares (third and fourth digit) and it can be useful to determine what is your ham radio grid square. PDF file can be enlarged and scaled to A3 and higher dimensions.

GridViewer is an interactive and lightweight open source web-based tool designed for ham radio operators to visualize and analyze their worked grid squares from ADIF-log files. GridViewer was developed to address a real-world challenge faced by many ham radio operators using lightweight or single-board computers like the Rock 4 SE (in my case) or Raspberry Pi.
