Hi
I'm off to the Pyrenees and am getting my head round the IGN 1:50 maps.
I can see grid square easting and northing numbers but what system do they relate to?
A refuge location was given in Latitude and longitude but I couldn't make that fit the map
I know the GPS system is WGS/84. Is there a similar app to OS locate for the smart phone that anyone can recommend?
All interesting but I am a bit surprised by my ignorance given this is not my first time in the French mountains. Maybe it is old age forgetfulness creeping in!
cheers
Laura
