Guest shirozina Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Are there any apps out there that will give a grid reference instead of a latitude and longditude readout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrewkeith5 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 do you mean the ordnance survey grid of the UK, or some other grid system like a map or something? there are hundreds of different grid navigation systems in use in the UK if you mean the OS national grid, then you can buy/download a program called Memory Map (memory-map.co.uk). The cost depends on which maps you buy it with, but the cheapest version is the national parks in 1:25k, which is £20 from amazon, but this will only give you the OS coordinates if you are within the boundaries of the maps you have installed on the phone. the only other program I know of that might be able to calculate OS grid locations is Quo by Mapyx, which is cheaper but I don't think there is a windows mobile version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to locate and get a fix much quicker than Tom Tom as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
