As a regular on the Suffolk RTA callout list, I am often tasked to find injured deer in the most obscure places!
I've just quized my local Police control centre as to what information they can provide, other than a basic description which is what I have used up til now in conjunction with a 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey map. Sadly, they cannot even give an OS grid!
What they can give me though is either the nearest postcode, or the Lat/Long (Eastings/Northings).
My question is, is there a basic Sat Nav which will allow me to enter either or preferably 'both' of the above?
I've so far found a Garmin nuvi 200 which appears to allow Lat/long but I'm not sure about the post code bit. Anyone got one that can confirm?
Before anyone tells me to get an iphone - I can't as I'm tied into a phone contract for about another 18 months!
Any suggestions welcomed.
