My second post contained the above but it seems that some didn't read that bit. I have highlighted the important bit this time.
Aleks (SWL-VK1001) addressed this again " Currently MAPRAD.IO will show all of the Australian licences that are 'mappable' and leaves out some licence types such as 'Amateur: Standard' and 'Amateur: Foundation', which have no location information associated." plus "Now that the interest from the amateur radio community is growing we'll address this and you'll be able do searches on your individual callsigns."
I doubt that those amateurs using PO Boxes are going to be mapped, and if you have different station address to postal address in the ACMA system, that address is not available publicly. Not public = not mappable.
Regarding "As representatives of the amateur radio community in Australia, is there a particular feature or data that you would like to see in a tool like this?", it's a bit early to tell. Incorporate the above callsign search support and it may be of more use.
