What’s New Plan links faster, place sites more precisely Your site library, now built in Import all your sites at once from a CSV or text file, paste a list, or add them one by one. Then just start typing a site name in a link: the app suggests matching sites and fills in the GPS for you. You can still adjust the coordinates by hand, on the map, or from your current location. Pinpoint sites on the map A new crosshair sits in the centre of the map. Move the map under it and tap to place a site exactly where you want it, down to the rooftop, without your finger getting in the way. A cleaner, faster link form • Site A and Site B side by side, with each label in the middle, so you can compare the two ends at a glance • One “Set” button per site: pick on the map, use current GPS, or paste coordinates • Quick + / − buttons for antenna height and Tx power • Clear warnings for antenna efficiency outside 0.5–0.8, and for two sites with the same name More reliable • Fixed a crash when elevation data couldn’t be loaded • Elevation profiles now load for links of any length, including links over 100 km • Smoother map performance Thanks for using Microwave Link Calculator! If this update saves you time in the field, a quick review helps us a lot.
