I've tested the accuracy of this widget on my Garmin Instinct 2 against an OS map, using a grid reference tool, and it was very accurate each time. The coordinates appeared very quickly whilst I had the GPS activated. This widget wasn't available for the Instinct 2 when I first looked and, after contacting Simon the developer asking when it might be available, I was able to upload it within a couple of days. Thank you Simon for a great service and a great OS widget.

Fantastic, works perfectly on the fenix 6X. I was able to add the OS Grid Ref as a data screen for my trail run and it allows me to quickly pinpoint my position on a map.

Thanks for your kind review. Yes, I use it as a backup too. Unfortunately I don't have any control of how you get to widgets from an activity & I guess every watch could be different. On my own watch I just press back and then scroll through the widgets until I get to the one I want.

I'm sorry you can't get the app to work on your watch, It's always best to contact me for help. Remember it can take quite a long time for the app to acquire enough satellites to give a grid reference. Unfortunately this is outside my control.

I would love to rate this app more, but it does not seem to work with my Garmin Venu. It just continually says that there is no GPS, and never displays a grid reference. I have tried setting the watch to a run so that the GPS is turned on but have had no luck, so I'm quite disappointed

I'm sorry it doesn't appear to work. This user emailed me for help then posted a poor review a few hours later. I replied in some detail with several suggestions. He hasn't had the decency to respond and tell me if it works or if he still has problems. If you have a Venu, I would love to know if the widget works for you or not so I can try to chase down any bugs.

This is such a brilliant little widget in the right circumstances. Thank you so much, Simon, for taking the trouble to share it. As a keen walker, who generally relies on the old-fashioned map-and-compass, this is a wonderful quick-fix/backup in situations where I’m a even a tiny bit uncertain when consulting a map. It’s not instant but it has rarely taken more than a few seconds to confirm location.

This really should be included with any standard Garmin watch. The OS app is simple and does one thing very well - give me my position that I can use to relocate myself on a map or in extremis, inform Mountain Rescue for assistance. Why it is not included in the standard Garmin inbuilt apps is a serious omission. Congratulations to Simon for filling the void. Particularly like the big digit display on my Fenix 5 watch face. Prefect for the typical UK rain and stormy weather we can have without having to get the specs out!! Thanks a lot - simply great...

This is a seriously good app for UK based walkers and hikers. It confirms one's position for either use with a paper OS map or the OS digital version. I had it on a Fenix 5S and now on a Fenix 6S Pro. Works very well - shows the grid reference easily and conveniently. Recommended.
