MapMate grid reference (1 Viewer)

[tarves57]

I recently bought MapMate so that I could keep a more orderly record of birds I have seen, however I am having great difficulties with it as it doesn't seem to be accepting the grid reference I am giving it. e.g. I am in the process of adding a place I quite often go to and the reference, according to the coordinates at the bottom left of the screen, is NT 220 740 (approximately), however it does not accept this and I can't save.
Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks
Susan

Okay now. Tried again and this time the grid reference was taken!

Just bought MapMate myself. Downloaded aerial photos from Multimap web site to use with the program! Really good, worth doing if you are recording in a small area - just adjust photo for brightness with any picture software. Get the area map you want to watch and then click aerial view - you can move in all directions until you have what you want.
Going to try and use this as a base map with online help from Mapmate.

Hmm...Good idea Paj!
Think I might give it a go myself.

Thanks,

Paj,
Just had a look at the website and found the grid reference within 100m accuracy! Brilliant.

Thanks for that.
