Menu > Spanner > System > Units > Position Format change from British Grid to one of the deg, min, sec ones.

Menu > Spanner Symbol > System > GPS > View Satellites. Lat and long will be at the top of the screen together with the accuracy. Works no matter what your other settings are.

Used this once or twice to give co-ordinates to the rescue services, far more useful to the heli pilot if they're required.

Thanks Dibbs.. Blimey that's a lot to do.
Was thinking along the lines if a rider was down and needed to give GPS position to medics.
