I went out today to compare my Garmin eTrex 10’s idea of the location of this Triangulation Pillar with the Ordnance Survey National Grid reference of 486466.32,306589.94 .

I am pleased to report that the Garmin read 52N39.0111 0W43.399 (WGS84 decimal minutes), the closest representation of the Ordnance Survey data. I converted the National Grid reference at Coordinate transformation tool to give 52N39.010738 0W43.399301, note that not all online co-ordinate conversion tools agree!

This pillar has a flush bracket with the number S6767.

I have added this as a point, in changeset 45201297.

I do not know that it is in the perfectly correct place as I do not know that Bing’s idea of the absolute position of points on the earth’s surface is the same as mine. OK, the location of my new point is 52.6501638, -0.723312, and it should be 52.6501790, -0.723322. Do I need to fix this, and if so, how?
