Hi All,

I wanted to tell you about a new free iPhone tool that I have created which converts OS Grid Coords into lat,long pairs. Both the OSGB36 and WGS84 datums are supported, and you can choose between DMS & Decimal formats. You can also easily view the OS Grid Coord on the standard iPhone Maps app (something that can be a bit tricky normally). I believe it's pretty useful for UK iPhone users who are into Trigpointing.

It's named 'OS Grid Converter' (you can search for it in the App Store).

I made it in response to a request from someone who frequently uses the trigpointinguk web site. So I figured maybe a few people here will find it useful too and like I said – it's completely free.

I hope you don't mind me posting this information in your forum. I'm a software developer who makes Apps in the travel/navigation space, if you have a requirement for trigpointing/geocaching related tools or utilities on your iPhone (or any feedback on this free tool), then let me know, and I can see if I can help you out!

Cheers,
Will
