Does anyone know of a downloadable or online grid square map that you can add markers and notation to, like on Google Maps? I'd like to be able to map out my contacts by grid square on the computer. Any and all suggestions welcome!

GCMWIN found at http://www.qsl.net/sm3gsj/gcm.htm is what most of us use for tracking grids on satellite. It's a really nice output, and very customizable.

Thank you for the quick reply Andrew. I downloaded the program, but all I could get it to do was show a great circle map centered on my QTH. I tried altering the "Properties" and nothing happened. No grid squares. No zoom function. Any suggestions?

John K8YSE gives a good summary of how to make it work.

Does anyone know of a downloadable or online grid square map
The first hit in this list: http://www.bing.com/search?q=maidenhead+grid+square+calculator&src=IE-Se... Box&FORM=IESR02
Looks like it might be a good candidate. I didn't look any further, but you certainly should.

The ARRL sells a nice grid square. Created in the era of hand drawn cartography, it is a work of beauty and accurate. It is only $1:
