When I got my new one from Amazon it was just the same so I've grown to accept the inacuracy. A shame really. I did think about sending it back for a refund but I dropped it and cracked the cover so I ...

Thanks for all the replies.

It's definitely wrong. If what I was looking at was how it was meant to function all the reviews would have laughed it out of the shop.

But as the responders have be ...

I have it set on decimal degrees. I'll try putting it back onto OSGB and see if that makes any difference.
