OT Landranger map references -TomTom

[Guest Confucious]

Mt father has just bought a TomTom and goes caravaning (I know - but I believe it's not hereditary!) and when he goes on rallys they give the location as a landranger (an OS map type) map ref eg 185/357210 - the first 3 digits being the map number and the next 6 the easting and northing

I have found a site where you can convert "proper" OS references (eg TQ357210) to lat/lon but the landranger map numbers don't seem to correspond to the 2 digit letters. Is there a way of translating landranger refs into a format he can enter into his TomTom to ind where he's going?

Cheers

Thanks Ash - but that only converts from "proper" OS references (eg TQ357210) - not the landranger map references all the caravan rally details are given in :)
