Northern Exile Feb 2020 1:36pm, 3 Feb 2020 5,900 posts	0 Northern Exile Gus - thanks for that. Bobs has got a 735xt and has the DW Maps app on it, I wonder if that displays grid refs? I suspect not actually, must look. Fozzy - yeah, that's interesting. Is that a "new" LDWA event do you know? I was trawling the LDWA routes archive just the other day and found some interesting stuff, including "The Walden" route that DT and I did many moons back, but not this one. I wonder if it's a variant of The Dales Traverse? It looks like it could be.

I just spotted it on Sientries when i went looking for something else, so no idea if it's new or not!

K5 Gus Feb 2020 7:13pm, 3 Feb 2020 3,321 posts	0 K5 Gus Ahh, OK apologies for any confusion - did that just come in with the newer watches like 945 and F6 ? Certainly my Fenix 5 doesn't have it ( unless it has been added as part of a firmware upgrade and I haven't realised )
