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.
