To get BNG refs from GE v5 without the need for conversion, click on the folowing link and download the klm file, this will place BNG lines on the screen and show the 10 fig BNG ref for the centre of the screen in 'temporary places' (save the file before exiting GE).
Double click on your findspot and GE will place it in the centre of the screen and the 10 fig BNG reading will be displayed;

Mark your find spot with a place mark. 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.
If it does not centre automatically when you double click on it then, right click on it, click on properties, select view and click on reset.

Re: 10 fig BNG refs from GE v5 without conversion
Not sure why, but although the software is showing in the correct place nothing happens when I move the slider, and if I put a marker on a spot it still displays the normal Northing and Eastings not the OS BNG grid ref? Any suggestions Phil.
Just because you are not paranoid, it does not mean that they are not out to get you

Re: 10 fig BNG refs from GE v5 without conversion
The 'nearby' should file should appear in 'temporary places', at the bottom of 'places', there should be boxes for 1k & 10k grid lines and a box for 'center point' which if you check should display the NGR on the screen next to the place mark.
The slider is if it's set up like mine for fading out Overlays such as O/S maps. Hope this helps sort it.

Hi Phil,
Now working, It seems that you have to close GE then reopen for the software to work. I like it, I have been busy putting in my finds on already.
