Grid References

[adjman]

Found these two rather handy sites which allow you to click on a googlemaps map to get the OS grid reference, the second one also gives Lat/Lon as well

If you have a smartphone, there are apps on there that will give you your coordinates right where you are standing.

You can also measure distance and area which can be useful

For those that have access to the MOD Intranet http://eip.cis.r.mil.uk/EIP/ You'll want Geode or E-terrier.

Thanks for the info, here is another,
Where's the path ?
This one places a satalite view next to the OS map so you can view both, I have used it for walking and cycling too.
