Name: Simple OS Grid Locations
Rating: 1 (1 reviews)
Author: willnorthyork

Add saved locations by entering coordinates in 10-figure Great Britain Ordnance Survey (OS Grid) format, directly on your watch. Adding locations is quick and easy, and does not require a GPS fix.

This is a simpler version of the OS Grid Locations widget, for older watches. The widget (available for newer watches) has the added ability to edit and delete locations, as well as navigate to them by seamlessly launching native activities. If your watch is not supported by this app, you probably want the widget: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/712a47ca-e9ae-4e9c-b52e-dad942da14a3

Notes:

• The app works by transforming OS National Grid references to WGS84 lat/lon coordinates. The coordinate transformation is said to be accurate within 4-5 metres:

Needless to say, please be aware of the limitations and total lack of warranty for this app.

Infrequently asked questions:

Q: Why does my location name get cut off?

A: Names are limited to 15 characters in the device.

Q: Why did the app say my location was added, but it doesn't show up on my Saved Locations list?

A: You probably have too many saved locations already. On older devices, Connect IQ apps are unable to verify whether a location was saved.
