Also OS maps don't come cheap these days!  And daresay the GPS App is free. But I'll stick to my OS maps as I have a few and another App on me phone would mean more memory loss and the battery draining quicker. Swings & roundabouts come to mind.

Thanks John W. I now understand, but what is the advantage or preference? If it is for greater accuracy, then why not use OS map refs up to three or four decimal places?

I agree mate they need to stick with the OS maps easily read. They will be using the GPS ref expect.

The one above needs someone with a degree in quantum physics or whatever its called!
