Map grids
- 1.
- 2. Grids and gridcoordinates The geographic grid system was created to locate all places on Earth. It uses latitude and longitude to describe the location of any place on Earth.
- 3. Grids and gridcoordinates One way of mapping the world is on a globe, because Earth is a sphere, which is a 3D shape. A map is usually a 2D drawing, and shows an accurate image of a place. Most people find 2D maps easier to use than globes.
- 4. Grids and gridcoordinates Grids and geographic Grids and geographic coordinates are used to coordinates are used to locate places on a map. locate places on a map. Grids are evenly spaced Grids are evenly spaced horizontal and vertical horizontal and vertical lines placed on a map. lines placed on a map. Letters or numbers are placed along the Letters or numbers are placed along the sides of a grid. They are combined to sides of a grid. They are combined to give grid coordinates for any location. give grid coordinates for any location.
- 5. Grids and gridcoordinates Why is it useful to be able to quickly locate places on a map? When have you had to locate places on a map?
- 6. Grids and gridcoordinates Maps in atlases and street directories are common examples of where you might use grid coordinates.

- 18. Eastings, northings andarea references This diagram uses a different type of grid system. It is made up of numerals located on grid lines.
- 19. Eastings, northings andarea references The numbers that refer to the vertical grid lines are called eastings.
- 20. Eastings, northings andarea references They increase in value as you move across in an easterly direction.
- 21. Eastings, northings andarea references The numbers that refer to the horizontal grid lines are called northings. They increase in value as you move up in a northerly direction.
- 22. Eastings, northings andarea references The two eastings numbers are joined with the two northings numbers to make a four-figure area reference.
- 23. Eastings, northings andarea references For example, a % symbol is located at eastings 46 and northings 22, so its area reference is 4622.
- 24. Eastings, northings andarea references Which symbol appears at these area references? 4124 Answer – 4425 Answer – 4323 Answer – 4120 Answer –
- 25. Grid references Grid references locate places on a map more accurately than area references. A grid reference is a six figure number, made up of a three-figure eastings reading and a three-figure northings reading. A grid reference is found by mentally subdividing each grid square into tenths. The third figure in each eastings and northings reading is found by estimating how many tenths across or up the exact location is.
