Grid references

[Broadie451]

Hi there,
I have used a portable GPS scanner for years now and have collected waypoints on my travels, is there anyway I can change the grid referenced way points into degrees minutes and seconds so that I can use with my stanav (TOM TOM).

thanks very much

thanks for the info but it doesn't seem to recognise the grid ref format I use taken from the garmin gps device I will try and contact them and see if there's something I'm doing wrong on there website.

Thanks for the info once again.
