Nope, enter the co-ordinants WGS 84 and then change back to GBOS if you want to map check it m8...

The problem lies in inferior GPS's giving out wrong coor-dinants, I do find this often.... that is why one as to do a search. for the hidden stuff

Near olde Emmerdale Farm too

Can anyone post some really interesting P.O.I. in Yorkshire Datum /Coordiants in GB OS format so I can place them in My Garmin please......

A cool blue Mini Cooper S will do......

So glad that I bought an a Garmin lol

wow only 60 miles .......?

Thanks u 2 I always mark the tall landmarks where I go walking, ---- as when one is in the fields one can see the direction of them...........

If one is trevelling in a straight line and one goes of the original straight line course by just one degree how far apart whould one travel in say 10 miles........... (the differance)?

Perhaps get a Mountain Bike each and go off the beaten track..........Nowt better....!

When one is in a nice country village the locals are kinds 'suspicious' of visitors............ so why not take along a Radio playing the 'Archers'.........lol >>> it keeps them in line!

OSGB is the way to go in uk so that we can check it out on maps as the other way maybe on some ones elses land and that will never do......that will get geocaching in uk outlawed....

So which is more accurate for geocaching in the UK........WGS84 H DDD MM.MMM or OSGB as someone on the net said they are 100meters differant and I now believe that they are, why, because I did a Trig test with a Garmin Map60c and I found it by shere curosity: "wot is up that hill I thought" after not finding it where my G.P.S said it should be......... an voila it was there.........

Well, I think that we should as we are walkers whilst Geocaching in the UK think of ourselves as the yanks do to themselves.... I say old chaps! let us only have OSGB why, because if ......say one is hurt one can... via their mobiles call for help and give the OSGB info to the Authorites as they use OSGB maps and even Ambulances now have G.P.S. systems in their vehicles...... Plus as some one said we are walkers not Pilots flying to a Geocach! we are in GB and we love our Ordnance as we love maps and our G.P.S.'s now.......! This is a great site!

Hi Which is More accurate....for Geocaching on a Garmin Map 60c, using ORD SRVY GB for Map Datum or the WGS 84 setting. Also same goes for using the British Grid or the h ddd mm mmm setting...... Which one would get one closer to the goal! In England only please.........
