Thanks for all the info, very helpfull.
Incidently, I've tried switching the position format in my Etrex (basic model) and it doesn't change the Map datum at the same time :-(
Never mind, the manual change will keep my thumb fit too!

Hi there,
I just purchased a Garmin Etrex and OS 1:25 000 scale maps of my local area but the co-ordinates on the GPS don't match up with the OS map (well not clearly, there are Lon/Lat markings on the far outside of the map but no grid lines).
If it is not a silly question why do you use the hddd mm mmm & WGS 84 format instead of the OS grid format for finding caches?
