| Nov 4, 2013 at 13:47 | comment | added | David Barratt | I've checked the location of the points on my GPS by creating one outside my office and is seems fine. The corresponding waypoint on QGIS just appears in the wrong place, prob. just because the project is in british national, but the waypoint is WGS 84... who knows. Anyway, thanks everyone, now I can do my feild work. | |

| Nov 4, 2013 at 12:26 | comment | added | David Barratt | Thanks, my points seem reasonable now. Only thing is that when I tick the box to add the waypoints to the map, they now appear some distance from the British national grid points they are based on. This is odd, but not a problem as long as the GPS points are correct. | |

No, that attempt fails. You have to leave the shapefile layer CRS in British National Grid, and choose WGS84 when using Save As... instead of the preselected Layer CRS in the forth row of the input mask.
