Grid Mis-Direction

When using your program and inputting the site address i.e. US-11292 which is Blakely State Park. The program populates wrong information i.e.

Shows state CA; Grid CM87vc

Should be state AL; Grid EM60ar

When using your program and inputting the site address i.e. US-11376 which is USS Alabama Park. The program populates wrong information i.e.

Shows state CA; Grid CM97jq

Should be state AL; Grid EM50xq

Question what other sites are mis-directed.

Those parks were added to the POTA database after the last release of HAMRS.

IMHO it would be better for HAMRS to clear the location fields if an unrecognized 5-number park is entered rather than truncating the park number to a 4-number park.

Actually, it would be better that when internet is detected that while starting up it gets the worldwide file from pota.app, and saves it to the local file system.

There are parks being changed and added almost daily. There is no way that HamRS, the way it is now, can keep its internal database up to date.
