I'm going to buy a [url= https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=30026 ]Garmin Foretrex 401[/url].

I'm fairly certain it can but I'd just like to check before I spend my money that it can:

1) It will display coordinates in OSGB.
2) It will accept .gpx files.

Thanks!

I have a 201 and it can do .gpx.

It can't do OSGB, partly because I don't know what it is. If its OS Map co-ords, then no. It does Lat/Long and elevation.

Have you tried downloading the manual?

Yep sorry, OSGB = Ordnance Survey Great Britain.

Thanks for the info.

I was looking at a Foretrex 201 to replace my Edge 305 because it also displays OS grid, or least I thought so from reading the manual.

I thought it was the Forerunner that didn't do grids.
