Grid & Area References Grid & Area References • It can be difficult to find places or features easily on a map. • So far we have learnt that to find places on a street directory we use an alpha-numeric grid (e.g. B7) • We also know that to find places on a larger scale, such as a world map we use Latitude & Longitude coordinates to help us find what we are looking for.
