GridTracker is a good logging and display software, especially when used with JTDX for FT8. Unfortunately, all the maps show areas like "Zangnan" as belonging to India, which is very frustrating. I took some time to study its map configuration. Initially, I wanted to create an offline version based on Baidu's tiles, but the arrangement was too chaotic. However, after looking at Gaode Maps, it perfectly matched, and I could directly use it with online maps.
GT is by default installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\GridTracker, and the "punch" function uses the data\maps.json file (on Windows 10 or later, use administrator mode). Modify the end of the file as follows:

Please ensure that the JSON file structure remains intact, especially the use of commas, otherwise it will not start!!!
After saving, restart GT and select from the multiple maps available in the settings.

I like Gaode Map! Our land belongs to us.
Google Maps indicates neutrality and uses a dashed line to mark it.
Now that you have everything you need, you can confidently use GT Grab to capture screenshots and photos, and share your achievements. Have fun!
