A grid is a set of lines used to find the exact location of places on a map. The horizontal lines (Northings) and vertical lines (Eastings) of the grid cross are called coordinates. The six figure grid reference gives the location of a feature or a place to the nearest 100 meters. Spot heights, bench marks, causeways, temples, post office etc. are located with the help of the six figure grid reference. The six figure grid reference is important as it adds to the accuracy of the map.
A grid is a set of lines used to find the exact location of places on a map. The horizontal lines (Northings) and vertical lines (Eastings) of the grid cross are called coordinates. In a six figure grid reference, the first three lines are the Eastings and the last three are Northings. To find the six figure grid reference, we divide the square into ten equal parts vertically and then horizontally. The six figure grid reference gives the location of a feature or a place to he nearest 100 meters.
