British Grid Ref

[Phil]

Hi, is there any way of entering a British grid reference as a
destination on the Nuvi 2595? I've found how to enter Lat & Long, but
can't see a way to enter a grid ref.

Thanks in advance.

My Garmin isn't in the Nuvi family, but did you check the settings to
see what coordinate formats the 2595 offers?

Although Garmin is THE GPS specialist, they forgot to realize any other
coordinates format than lat/lon. Not even UTM is present. Sorry.

Hi

Unfortunately, it seems you have to use an online converter like

That's a shame. Thanks anyway for the replies.

Garmin Mapsource has about 40 grids including OSGB so I enter waypoints in
that and upload them to the Nuvi. There is the same option in Basecamp but I
prefer to call a route just that and not an "adventure", the terminology is
just so confusing for us oldies.
