Re: Using a SatNav (TomTom One XL) to GPS your finds

Re: PAS Conference Agenda pdf

I was under the impression this conference was being run by the CBA, and not the PAS ? I still wish I could be there, I do like these events. Poor choice of title by me, could someone change it to 'CBA & ICCHS' please (CBA & International Centre for Cultural Heritage Studies). http://www.br...

Double clicking on a find spot place mark should centre it in the middle of the screen so the 'center point' NGR can be read off using the Nearby gridlines feature above.
