I have a Garmin Geko 101 GPS unit. How do I set it to give me Irish Grid references, rather than lat/long? Also, how do you convert lat/long to Irish grid ref in the field? ta in advance, tf PS the instructions might help - http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/Geko101_OwnersManual.pdf

Have you tried posting in the GPS/ Sat nav forum??
