22. Grid Reference Conversions

We have converted the grid references of all Walk and Cycle trails and trails designed by readers to latitude and longitude rather than the O/S national grid reference system. It means that in the future we will be able to use more mapping tools and services, which hopefully will improve the Walk and Cycle site further.

The changes should be invisible to you when reading trails and using the interactive maps but if you encounter any problems please let us know.

Some browsers may still attempt to use the old code so before designing a new route using Trail Designer we recommend that you force a full page refresh (hold down the Ctrl key and click on page refresh; Ctrl key and F5 in Firefox - in some browsers you may need to do it a couple of times!).
