A friend reported that my /P locator was incorrect. When I looked into QRZ, indeed it was not right.
I have changed the QRZ data, but PoLo shows me 112 miles from home.
I did a clean load of PoLo - no change. Then turned off QRZ lookup - still no change.
Is as if there is something internal to PoLo. No adif loaded.
Home logger shows correctly
My home call is spot on.
Call G7ORH/P is the problem.
When someone pulls this grid from QRZ, the pin for your location on their MAP is calculated by the centroid of the grid. NOT the lat/long of the pin you install on YOUR qrz page.

If you want someone to map you in an exact location, then you need to give them your exact 6 or 8 character grid square over the air, then they need to go to the More tab/button on the QSO, and enter that grid into YOUR grid square for the QSO. It’s a manual task in this instance.
Then THEIR map will show you in that location.
The next person logging you may not go to this trouble, and you will be located on their map, in the centroid of IO93vd.
And this assumes these other people all have paid subscriptions to QRZ. With a free account, there is no gridsquare coming back for a lookup of your callsign.
