Just for the record, I use DX4WIN. I've seen zero issues with upload here
for DX4WIN logs throughout the effort to add this functionality.
You're misinterpreting things. This is a case where IF a logger chooses to
export QSOs with location data, then it will be checked. If it's not
there, then it won't be. There's no new requirement.
Please don't panic - this is a new feature, not some new requirement that
will suddenly require loggers to adapt. AND you can turn it all off if you
want.
