Your station

Settings › Your station. Who you are and roughly where you are.

Field	What to fill in	What Diana does with it
Callsign	Your normal callsign, for example ON3VZ.	Used as the spotter, and decides which country Diana proposes.
Portable callsign	What you use in the field, for example ON3VZ/P.	Filled in as the activator when you spot yourself or announce.
Maidenhead locator	Six characters, for example JO21EE.	Your starting point while there is no GPS: for the map, the distances and the lines to spots.

“No valid locator (e.g. JO21EE)” means a typing error: two letters, two digits, two letters.

Taking the locator from GPS

1. Stand where you want the locator for, outside if possible.
2. Tap Take from GPS.
3. Diana fills in the locator from your current position.

The position line

Under the locator a line says how good your last position was, for example “Last position: ±8 m · 2 min ago”.

You read	What it means	What to do
±10 m or better	Satellites. Fine.	Nothing.
about ±50 to 100 m	Usually wifi, indoors.	Try outside.
“Too coarse to say whether you are inside an area”	Not good enough for inside-or-outside.	Go outside with open sky.
Stays coarse outside too	The site may only use an approximate location.	Check the location setting of your phone: Location problems.
“No GPS position on this device yet”	Location not allowed, or not asked yet.	Allow location, or rely on your locator.

Note

There is no setting for where the map opens. It always opens where you are, otherwise at your locator, otherwise in your callsign’s country.
