However when out in the field and I entered the 2nd stage coordinates that we found in the caches the waypoints turned out to be quite a
bit

It seems that creating a waypoint on OziPocketExplorer automatically uses the datum of the loaded map, I can't find a option to make it create a waypoint and use a different datum - in this case WGS84

Anybody know of a work around for this
How about entering the waypoint on your Etrex and importing it into Ozi on the iPAQ?
Thanks - I don't have a serial connection between Ipaq & Etrex - The Ipaq uses a CF GPS - however I've found a cludgy workaround - enter the WGS84 waypoint in the Etrex, then switch the Datum of the Etrex to OSGB read the adjusted coordinates and enter them in the Ipaq and then remember to switch the datum of the Etrex back to WGS84 - works but a bit of a long winded approach - hope Ozi pocket explorer will be able to handle different datums in the future.

Ok then you have an eTrex an iPAQ and a PC.
You don't have a connection between the eTrex and the iPAQ. So why bother inputting a waypoint into the iPAQ in the field?
Mark your point on the eTrex and back home import it into the PC version of Ozi and then export from there to OziCE on the iPAQ.
I can't help thinking that you ought to be using OSGB all the time like most normal people. OSGB map OSGB co-ordinates OSGB datum. Less chance of something going wrong that way. -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"

As mentioned above the Ipaq uses a CF Card GPSR
