Its purpose is to be concise, accurate and robust in the face of interference and adverse transmission conditions.

The 10-character GRID Locator is compatible with the RaDAR (Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio) At start the Widget tries to get one time poor, usable or good GPS fix. Then it displays the GPS coordinates and the Locator GRID.
