Converting OS grid refs to lat long


I'm probably teaching Grandmama to suck eggs but this website calculates lat/long and OS grid references

Just remember however that Lat and Long Greenwich Derived position, is not what a GPS runs off.  Most GPS run off WGS84 which is different. If you are transposing from OS to GPS check what system your GPS is set to and there are several systems, or you may find that you can be up to 3 miles out

As far as I am aware there is no GPS that runs Lat & Long GPD so beware, or take your sextant and chronometer with you
