David,
For the purpose of placing devices on a world map a 6-position gridsquare should be minimal and enough.
People wanting to send a more exact position can do it, but a 4-position grid square is IMHO not sufficient. So for the moment, the receiving side truncates the locator to 6 positions and converts that one to a lon/lat value (the center of the subsquare).
Let me get this map running first and we will see where we go from there.

Hey Marius,
If you are going to use grid squares instead of Lat/Long or GPS coordinates, could you maybe support addition resolution on the Grid square? For example, my high resolution grid square is CM97ai02ak http://www.dxmaps.com/callbook/gmap.php . Most people might only like to give say CM97, most people will give CM97ai, maybe others might give CM97ai02 .

For the proposed experiment on creating a interactive dynamic map of the ampr-ripd systems, I created a special version (2.2).
The daemon accepts a new parameter -L <string>. If this string is defined, it will be sent every 5 minutes to my gateway 44.182.21.1 via UDP to port 59001.
The format I will use is plain and simple gwcallsign@locator, case insensitive e.g. -L yo2loj@kn05or.
If we will ned somehow more data, the string can be replaced wit anything, it is just sent as it is and will be parsed by the backend.
For the moment there is only a simple listener monitoring that port, and I am working on the server and interactive map which will be available at
http://yo2tm.ampr.org/ampr-map/
For those that do not want to participate, there is no need to upgrade.
And even if you do, not setting the -L parameter will not send any data, the result being the same behavior like 2.1.1.
