Show os grid ref

I'm trying to get the OS grid ref to show on my Forerunner 735XT. I've downloaded the OS Grid Reference from the Connect Store, but still can't see how to show this either in phone or app settings, it just shows lat/long.

Any ideas?

Thanks

No idea what OS grid ref is, but did you try asking the author of the app? There is a link "Contact Author" on the page of any Connect IQ app, and the developers are usually rather responsive.

That's useful thanks, I'll try that. (OS is Ordance Survey, the UK mapping system which uses a 6 figure grid reference for location, really useful to have it on the watch to match against a map)

The OS Grid Ref. App is a data field which is designed to be added to one of the screens in the built in apps. This allows you to get a grid reference while you're recording an activity like a Run or Hike.

For example, to add the data field on my Fenix I have to start an activity - e. g. "Run" , then press the menu button, go to Settings -> Current App -> Data Screens and I can add the Grid Ref field from the "ConnectIQ" section.

For information about how to do this on the Forerunner 735XT see the "Customizing the Data Screens" and "Connect IQ Features" pages in the user guide :

I hope that works for you. If you'd prefer to check a Grid Ref when not executing one of the built-in activity apps then you might want to try the Grid Ref widget instead - see:
