Log Analyser de-activated.

[Edit - this may not be the final word on this - see update at the bottom]

Sad news from Mario DL4MFM that his excellent Log Analyser has been de-activated because Google no longer offers the map without charge.

This is an unfortunate development for me as Log Analyser was a very useful tool to use for this blog, as well as a very handy way of understanding QSO data.

I have written to Mario to thank him for a number of years of great work. Log Analyser developed over time and added some very useful features. He deserves our thanks for all his work.

It is a pity that another map source cannot be used - such as OpenStreetMap. In any case I would be willing to pay a subscription to a similar service if I could find one as good as Log Analyser.

Moving on, I am tinkering with GridTracker which is very good for all sorts of things but which does not quite match Log Analyser 3.2 for the functions I need. It may do for the meantime, and there are a couple of others around. We shall see.

I miss Log Analyser though.

[Update - Mario has replied to me that he is hoping to bring Log Analyser back, perhaps with MapBox mapping. However, he has other commitments and this might take time. I am prepared to wait for such a useful aid. I have thanked Mario once again for his efforts to date. 73 Jim]
