How do I get Grid Reference Numbers on the Internet?

Hi

I'm not sure where to put this thread. I was hoping there was a "computer/internet" related area... but can't find one.

I do a lot of biological recording for my local Environmental Records Office. As part of the record they like to have at least a 8 or 10 figure grid reference (ie SY98739430).

Does anyone know where I can get a grid reference easily from the internet by pinpointing an area (and then hopefully just reading off the grid ref)?

I know I can get it from a map but I don't have all the maps of Dorset (and they are pretty expensive).

Thanks

Jane
