Activating abroad

Diana works everywhere: every WWFF reference in the world is on the map. What changes abroad is whether Diana has the real boundaries of that country.

Before you leave

Section titled “Before you leave”
  1. Open Settings › Your country and choose the country you will visit.
  2. Read the line under the list:
    • With boundaries: the areas appear in full, and Diana can tell whether you are inside.
    • Points only: you see the references as points at the position from the WWFF directory.
  3. Open the map once with signal, at home or at the hotel, and zoom around the area where you will go. Diana keeps what it loaded for offline use.
  4. Under Settings › Field info, a larger distance (50 or 100 km) often helps in a country with fewer references.

In a country with boundaries

Section titled “In a country with boundaries”

Everything works as at home: areas, am I inside, overlap and the distance to the boundary. Today that is Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Portugal, and more are added all the time.

In a country with points only

Section titled “In a country with points only”
  • You see where references are, and you get their details by tapping: name, locator, zones, QSO count or ATNO, bearing and distance, and More info. See Points and areas.
  • Diana cannot tell whether you are inside, because it does not know the boundary. Check the official map of that national programme, or the website under More info.
  • Spotting yourself and announcing work exactly as at home.
