UKC

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but nowhere else seemed suitable.

I've recently purchased the new 'Wired Guides - Lake Dristrict Rock' for an upcoming trip to the Lake District (first time we've been there).

The book is great, however it gives OS Grid References for the locations of car-parks and craggs (as i'm sure is common with many other guidebooks), these tend to be in the from 'NY 264 977' or 'SD 32169 99881' and google maps doesn't seem to recognise these.

Anyone know of a way to convert between these and something google maps can understand. Ideally I want to bookmark all of the crags and car-parks into my smartphone before we set off to make life eaiser when we are there.

I'm sure I'm not the first climber to have encountered this problem and I'm hoping the collective wisdom of UKC can help me out.

Cheers

Lee

Thats the one I used I referred to, but the other is much simpler.

In reply to JamButty:

The right mouse click on the map is a really nice feature, with full summary again at bottom page.

You can export all the Points to Google Earth Desktop as a KML, but not sure how to get these points into the Browser Google Maps to Save as Map Bookmarks (the yellow stars) as wanted by the OP
