    Navigating to OS Grid ref in TomTom

    Hi all, Is it possible to navigate to an OS Grid ref in my TomTom? I have TT5.x for Windows Mobile. Or do I really have to convert the frid to Long/ Lat First?

    Any midlanders doing a some Lanes next Saturday?

    Hi mate Sounds good. I did a few lanes with some guys last week around Atherstone and sheepy parva. If I can get the grid ref's then lets go and do the lanes you know, then do the one's I did last weekend. I'll be in touch later in the week to arrange. Paul

    My new toy

    My new toy

    Ha! You are right. I already have a noisy bearing (knew this when I bought it) and the gearbox gets worse as it gets warmer, like nothing i've ever seen before!! I have a thread going about what to do, but did you use a guide when you changed the gear oil. Is it easy or tough?
