Definitely.

These coordinates are used for all "geographic" computations (headings, 
Sunrise, Sunset etc.).

If no square is entered, the coordinates of your DXCC country (according 
to the country files you're using) will be taken instead.

To be sure of your gridsquare, you can use :

Just zoom in, zoom out, scroll etc. and click on your exact location : 
Its gridsquare will pop-up ! It's that simple !
