The URL for the grid tracker map I attempt to cite in the message below is

If there's any documentation for interoperating with GridTracker, I could not locate it. The documentation page says "it's one the way", but is otherwise empty:

https://gridtracker.org/index.php/documentation/user-guide-wiki
I scanned a video showing how to enable Grid Tracker to interoperate with WSJT-X and a logging application. This enables Grid Tracker to display the locations of the stations decoded by WSJT-X, and QSOs logged in WSJT-X to be sent to the logging application. All of that functionality an more has long been provided in DXLab, either via its direct interoperation with WSJT-X or via JTAlert.
IF there were documentation, the number of external world maps that DXView supports could be increased from 2 (DX Atlas, Google Maps) to 3. Comparing this map in GridTracker?
with this map in DX Atlas
or this map in Google Earth
doesn't sent me racing to the keyboard on my DXLab development system.
Recall that a year or two ago, a release of GridTracker automatically at startup directed LoTW to download all of its user's submitted QSOs, thereby activating LoTW's undocumented "download abuse detector", which then prevented the user from employing DXKeeper to upload QSOs to LoTW or sync with LoTW. Senior ARRL personnel blamed this on DXKeeper. The GridTracker developers were less than responsive, but eventually did correct their defect; this history doesn't make me anxious to work with them.
