[amsat-bb] iOS app Maidenhead

Off hand on a semi-quick test, the lat-longs for all four corners of Wyoming and a few of the variations from the App match Google Earth as closely as the displayed resolution supported.

How much trust does one have WRT state boundaries and what Maidenhead displays? The borders are often not straight nor do they always align with Lat/Lon ... looking at Wyoming, we seem to have 8 more grids than our rectangular shape would have one believe (some from Colorado and others from Montana).

Anyone else see this or similar?

Thanks and 73,
