Does anyone know if there is a way to add different formats on a Garmin Nuvi? I have a Nuvi 370 and would like to be able to use MGRS format. All mine allows now is Lat/Long and British National Grid. All of my other Garmin products with the exception of the nuvi have let me use MGRS. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this?

I don't know about the nuvis, but the Zumo can use MGRS.
You can change the format by going to Where to? > down arrow > Coordinates and press the Format button. Use the arrows to find the different formats.
On my Nuvi 350:

Where to? > down arrow > Coordinates and pressing the Format button shows 4 options:

h ddd mm.mmm
h ddd.dddddd
British National Grid
If you want another format you'll need to contact Garmin tech support and request that it gets added to a future firmware version.
