Looks like I'm going to have to make a purchase :-)

Working out the descent on the MTB will be quite interesting.

Perhaps the sites included in TMA, as well as the OS Ref could have Long and Lat's as well.

Regs,

the best way forward will be to use the UTM system, so we can go into Europe without too much difficultly. Your new GPS will be able to handle all these different sytems

I promised McGrail a conversion program - I found a way of doing it through the Airphoto application
http://www.uni-koeln.de/~al001/airphoto.html

but had some problems with calling the particular data structures from Visual Basic, found that Delphi would be OK, but that the Delphi CD had gone missing, and my infamously short attention span moved on ... this is a nice website - http://www.slough4peace.net/ - and a rather good excuse ...

When we get the horrible algorithms sorted out for conversion I think they will appear. But the maths is bloody horrible!
