Bought myself a Garmin Oregon 550t thanks to a tax rebate (THANKS TAX MAN!) about time I got something BACK?
Anybody got one and know how to use it?
What I would be most interested in is downloading the OS map onto it, but also how to put in a grid ref?
THINK I MIGHT HAVE BITTEN OF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW HERE!
:? OFF up onto the Moor to think about it :D

Colins your man for this one Reg If you are running his free download letterbox program, once you have planned your walk and plotted it out, I think you can download the lot your GPS including the map.

Yep, can recommend that, I scanned in the book and OCR'd the 8 and 10 digit ones, then imported them as an excel file into the free letterbox program. Once in there it was all easy! Exports to the Garmin (I have the 450) in a couple of clicks.
See the other thread too, but personally I think £60 for the other version is very steep. I would be interested if there was a way to get the data from the book electronically without buying the software too.
