Grid reference to long/lat conversion

[spindrift]

Does anyone know an easy way of converting the OS Grid References to Longitude/Latitude as used by CP5 POI's?

I'm a caravanner and both the major clubs publish the OS refs for club sites so I could set up a POI file for all of them if I could get the Long/Lat values. At the moment I have to guess the last few yards to the site entrance from the club instructions but it would be great to get CP5 to take me right to the entrance. It ain't easy turning round in a narrow road with a caravan on the back when you've just missed the last turn!

The mailing addresses tend not to be in the map data, and with the lower level postcodes not available it can get a bit hit and miss.

Thanks, Kam. Now if I'd bought Tom-Tom...

Anyway, that'll do what I want although it means I have to write the lat/long numbers down and re-enter them, but at least I can get the numbers!

Cheers!
