you would need to convert the os references into decimal degrees (google will help you find a convertor!) OR you could navigate to the grid reference by doing where to / co-ordinates then change the format to british national grid - i THINK there the same but not too sure...
another way you could convert from os grid to decimal degrees is by putting the os grid reference in streetmap.co.uk and then under the map click on 'convert these co-ordinates' and get the lat/lon reference from there - it's a long process but it will get them done!
