the geographic centre of countries, allowing these lookups will help. For QRZ.com a paid account is required to
look up operator locations.</p>
<p>IOTA in particular causes a mapping problem, firstly that there is no official set of geodata beyond the names of
islands. We also have no way of telling whether priority should be given to IOTA reference or e.g. QRZ lookup,
for example for a G callsign in EU-005 Great Britain the QRZ home address is probably more accurate, but in
EU-002 Aaland islands, it's more likely a DXpedition and the IOTA would be more accurate.</p>
