Change the Map Coordinates Format

On my X1 during all the setup screens there was an option to choose which map coords to show.

I'm in the UK and I want to see OS Grid Ref, and I thought I chose that, but it is still showing Lat/Lon, so I can't have done that correctly.

I now can't find anywhere in the Settings to go and change this.

I think it should be in Settings > System > Advanced > Format but in there I just get Units, Pace/Speed and Start of Week, and it's not in Units. On my Epix there's another option called Pos. Format but I can't find Pos. Format anywhere, and it's not mentioned in the pdf manual.

Can anyone point me to where this can be changed, or do I need to do a factory reset and start again, surely not ??

Yep. I sent my X1 Back and bought a Suunto Vertical 2 instead.

Garmin have made a mistake making this a crap version of the Applewatch. It had everything needed for the outdoors and smart watch capabilities…

Just a question for X1 owners: the X1 manual still says, that the device has dual grid locations. Is this true or was this also removed and they haven´t just revised the manual (I can´t take a look, because I terurned my X1 about 2 months ago)? If it is still there: could someone share a pic and tell me, which coordinate systems are available? But I assume that they have just not revised the manual (as usual).

From the current web online Garmin X1 manual:

"Saving a Dual Grid Location

You can save your current location using dual grid coordinates to navigate back to the same location later.

    Customize a button or button combination for the Dual Grid feature (Customizing the Button Shortcuts).
    Hold the button or button combination you customized to save a dual grid location.
    Wait while the watch locates satellites.
    Press Line drawing of the watch with a top button callout to save the location.

    You can edit the location details."
