Can the 245/245M Naively Display Position as Grid Reference

I'm trying to inform a friend (no it's not me ;) as I've already got a MARQ Athlete and Fenix 5+) as to whether a 245, 945 or Fenix line watch might best suit his needs. One feature that is important to him is being able to view your current position as a grid reference within one of the data fields in an activity. Now I know the 235 could only do this by way of a CIQ data field, but that consumes one of two CIQ data fields you can have in an activity app profile. Can anyone confirm if the 245 does have multiple grid reference formats selectable within it's settings and that it can be displayed in a data field in an activity app without using CIQ?

I checked the manual and in the appendix is a list of data fields, and I don't see it.

I'd be a bit surprised if it had it, as I've only seen that on higher end devices.

Thanks Jim. That doesn’t sound so promising. I guess we’ll have to wait until someone has a 245 in hand before getting the definitive answer, but in the mean time I’ll work on the assumption the 245 can’t do it.
