Introducing the Great Circle Mapper

Welcome to 'GCM v10' - the latest incarnation of EI8IC's Great Circle Mapper, a Windows mapping program for Radio Amateurs, Contesters, and DXers that produces a range of unique and distinctive circular maps in 4 different projections, with user-controls for Gray Line information, Beacon Monitoring, Grid Locators, Range Rings, Magnetic Variation, Beam Direction Plotting, Antenna Coverage Plotting, Callsign and Amateur Radio Country Lookup, Prefix, Capital City and Country Labels, plus other database facilities. There are many settings and adjustments possible, or the controls can all be hidden, leaving a stand-alone square map that can be easily integrated into a Contesting or DXer desktop workflow.

Maps are created with over 20 different backgrounds. You can export them for your own programs, or online use. Full Mouse-Position Information includes Latitude/Longitude, Grid Locator, Distance with Unit-Choice, Short and Long-Path Bearings from QTH and Map-Center.

For further reference, see the comprehensive GCM v10 Help Guide.
