Now and then on Birdguides you get sightings reported with a grid reference.
I have a Garmin Etrex and would like to use the unit for the purpose of finding such sites.My problem is this,I have the unit set for OS Maps and the reference it gives is usually 2 lines of 5 digits.
Example, the refernce for where I live is SD 81481
BNG 65609
The reference usually given on Birdguides is 1 line of 6 digits.Like today, Wood Sandpiper,Fleetwood Ref:SD846573.How would I enter this on my unit? :h?:
