I believe there has been a misunderstanding here.

'GWX - English Nav Map & Grid Refs' converts the labels on the in-game chart from German to English, but only at certain zoom levels. It does not convert KM Grids to degrees.

More important: Those radio messages you receive with locations in degrees? They aren't real! Well, actually they are real - real messages from World War II, designed to give flavor to the game and make it feel like you're not alone in the war. Any messages you get from the game will always be in KM Grid locations.

[edit] I see that Mittelwaechter has already given the correct answer above.
