 |
|
Can anyone help?
The TT700 displays your position in northings and eastings depending where you are, does anybody know if these can be displayed in a 10 digit landranger ref - ie TQ1234567890.
I've searched most places but have found no info,
any ideas anyone? 8O |

You probably mean latitude/longitude (don't forget us Westerners and them Southerners...). TomTom does not allow display of OSGB format, only WGS84

I can understand "Northing" and "Easting" a lot easier than I can work out "OSGB" and "WGS84"   |

Good one :D let's all throw TLAs at each other. Not.
OSGB Ordnance Survey Grid something.
WGS84 World Geodetic System of 1984 (the basis for Latitude and Longitude
