I’ve just checked my garmin 500 and it doesn’t give the longitude and latitude as displayed above. Instead it gives a number preceded by ‘sj’ and a second number preceded by ‘BNG’, neither of which can I (or google) recognise as obvious coordinates.
I’m interested in this because I had to be rescued on saturday after a bad fall which I’ve been lucky in getting away with. It was only when I became more lucid and recognised my riding mates that I could tell them (roughly) where we are. It’s since dawned on me that as we all ride with garmins we should be able to pinpoint our location if similar circumstances occur again.
So my question is –
does anyone know what my garmin is showing/any insights into how to get the longitude and latitude showing instead of what I’ve got now?
Cheers
