The GQ Map is great,very helpful and educative.
I wish the ACPM would work properly.
It seems more indicative of whats going on than only CPM.

When I click on my icon (west scotland)on the GQ Map
I see that my stats say CPM:75 ACPM:6467943.00 0.214286uSv/h
(copy and paste)
It may be device specific,as other Icons often seem OK,
but not all.I found several others with strange counts.

for example EI5HBB southern ireland CPM:9 ACPM:582.15 0.06uSv/h
unknown south wales CPM:17 ACPM:349.31 0.11uSv/h
pat paris CPM:28 ACPM:220.72 0.18uSv/h
all today

May I ask what you're using to send data?
Usually that ACPM is coming from the device or data viewer.

Every time I have used Data Viewer to send data,4/5 times,it has
behaved the same way,weird ACPM,as you can see from my History.
My 600+ calculates and displays believable ACPM.
The other examples I gave also seem to be the same in their History.
Whilst mine seems to be the worst,I have seen,at other times,
examples that have been as bad as mine.
From memory they were 600's.
The examples I gave are all 320's V4 and V5,maybe significant ?

I'm sorry.
I only realize now,that I posted this thread in the wrong Forum.
EmfDev,if you want to move it into the Map Forum go ahead.

That's ok, we now saw the problem and working to fix it. It's in the data viewer. Will get back when it's fixed.

Thanks very much for such a quick response.
However,its still not right,better,more like the other examples,
but still off.
CPM:71 ACPM:178.08 0.202857uSv/h
CPM:62 ACPM:188.76 0.177143uSv/h
Check my History for more of the same.
My 600+ reads ACPM 56.62,which is much more believable.

Much better thanks,but still reading about 20%/30% higher than
my 600+ which stabilizes around 59 today.

Looks like there's still something wrong.. I'm still testing it and can't reproduce the error.

Looking at my History.
The ACPM is rising and falling too much.
It should vary less over time,by definition.
Outside of obvious spikes in CPM,and even then,
not much,over longer time.

I should mention,that Viewer 2.59 is running on
Windows XP Home 2002 SP3
many people still use XP.

I just connected to the Map for an hour,and I think
you got it this time.
Hard to tell actually.
I often see a difference between my Device and Viewer,
of 10 counts or more.Then 10 seconds later they match.
This may be because of rickety old XP that doesn't like
more than 5 pages open in Tabs.It stalls and freezes a lot.
This may upset the count in Viewer.
My Device has been in the same place for all this testing
and is consistently between 56 and 59 ACPM
The Map History now is between 51 and 54 ACPM
So not so bad.Looks much better than before.
Well done and thanks.

After 2 1/2 hours the averaging looks good in History.
50 ACPM compared to 57 ACPM on the Device.
