Hi

I have a nuvi 650. I am trying to find out how to plot a route to a remote
location that does not have a postal address, in fact it is the middle of
the countryside. I do have a British ordinance survey grid reference for my
location. Any ideas how best to tackle this kind of problem?

Enter the coordinates, if the 650 does the OS grid. "Where to? ->
Coordinates". If it doesn't, use

http://www.obliquity.com/astro/osgb.html

to convert to latitude and longitude. Press Next, then the big GO
button. It may not get you to the correct gate, but you'll at least end
up on the road closest to your destination.

If you click on a place it will put a marker and if you click the marker
it will give you the coordinates.

British ordinance survey grid is normally not used for navigation but
for positioning and locating an item (that is why the word <survey> is
used in the name). It is very hard to use it for navigation unless your
navigation program internally can transfer the coordinates to wgs84
before doing the calculations.
Any outdoor gps used for tracking etc. can handle the British ordinance
survey grid coordinates.
