I am trying to find a software to use with my PALM M515 and to find Grid Locator with Lat/Long coordinates. So far I didn't find it. Does anyone knows where to find it, if exists.
Try this. *GRID Find for the Palm Pilot and the PocketPC*

A quick look at the URL suggests that this program indeed does compute grids, but NOT Maidenhead Grid Squares.
A widely-used program in the 10 GHz and Up community, for the Palm OS, which computes bearing and distance, and can also do conversions between lat/lon and Maidenhead Grid squares, is GL by KK6MK: http://www.xertech.net/Projects/gl_dist.html
Another program which I wrote needs some updating work, but it is functional in its present form: http://www.nlrs.org/W0JT/Palm_GridLocator/index.htm One of the problems with this program is that the math was based on a spherical Earth, so it underestimates distances for headings that have a large East-West component. I plan to fix this in the next version.
W1GHZ also publishes a few Palm OS programs; BD is one that computes bearing and distance between two grids, which is not the conversion that Paulo is asking about. I believe that the companion program called LLtoGrid will do what Paulo wants. Both are in one download: http://www.w1ghz.org/palm/palm.htm
Hope that helps. 73 de W0JT
