grid ref on ttg?

hi

is it possible to input a grid ref into TTG (Ive got a classic with v 5.10) as a destination?

Ive recently joined a hiking club and most of the starting points are car parks on obscure roads which are listed by grid reference only.

thanks

rich

At the present time it is only possible to use POI as points on a map. You could create your own using a program called POIconverter to change the grid references to lat/long. I haven't used the program myself.

If you do a search for POIConverter it shoud product a result.

Rich,

For the occaisional conversion I've used streetmap http://www.streetmap.co.uk/ as that will take an OS reference and pull up an appropriate map picture.

Then on the TTG I've created a POI using "Point on map" and zooming right in.
