Hello all,
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.

Paulo, Try TX-Grids from David KG0TX http://home.comcast.net/~palmware/ It does just what you want.. Best 73 John Meeks KC8ZFN

I see that AMSAT-NA lists PocketSat+ for the Palm, and that's probably good enough for me to get it for tracking/predictions software. But are there other useful applications available for the Palm?

What do you want? Just hit Google with "palmos" and the type of application you're looking for. There are several collection sites such as tucows.com and palmgear.com.
Enjoy!

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
