There must be an entry in every field. The defaults will give a GIF of the local continent, projected from the server.

Title of Map
Decorative Title across top of Map (eg Summer 2m Contest or DXCC Countries Worked).

Location of center of azimuthal equidistant projection Help - don't know lat/lon (USA only)

Name of QTH - eg WA3ZZZ, or Mt. Monadnoc (will be small label at bottom left of map).
location accepted formats gridlocator (eg FM05lw) or latitude (-89.9<lat<89.9, in decimal degrees, N is +, S is -)
longitude (-180.0<lon =<180.0, in decimal degrees, E is +, W is -) (entry ignored if gridlocator used in previous field)

Note: the USA has positive latitude and negative longitude. This is the most common mistake made in drawing maps and leads to maps centered in central asia by hams with US call signs. The next most common mistake is exchanging lat/lon leading to maps centered near the north pole.
