(click, edit, copy & paste from boxes3f) 7) clicking 2osgr converts 2 numbers (comma delimited) in the LatLong box to an osgr. format eg "54.082341,-1.3973814" - You can paste or edit there. 8) NI & Ireland and Chanel Islands now recognised (Streetmap not fully covering Ireland) - LatLong to GR (& reverse conversion) 9) leading and trailing spaces and non-printing characters (eg line feeds) are ignored (mostly!) 10) "router" is a dog-leg mileage measurement list. Enter/convert each point in sequence along a route then click "router" each time. Pick points at significant bends. 11) "router" offers the area enclosed by the list (automatically closing the last & first "bends" notionally - so you don't have to). Search "Shoelace formula" for accuracy. 12) the "router" list can be used as short-term memory of unconnected points. The "bends", when clicked, load the short LatLong as a conversion. 13) KYP needs the correct county for display of green dots that pop-up
