How To Read Maps Grid References Geography Skills Youtube In this video we examine how os maps are divided into different grid references and how we can use these to identify 4 figure and 6 figure grid references. Grab your map and find the grid reference ‘5639’. start at the zero point of the easting and move to the right until you reach line 56. then, move upwards along the northings until you reach line 39. and voila! you’ve located the square ‘5639’! for a 6 figure grid reference example, let’s use ‘563398’.
How To Read A 6 Figure Grid Reference Youtube When giving a grid reference the eastings are given first, followed by the northings. the four figure grid reference for the square below is 9061. six figure grid references allow you to identify an exact location within a grid square. let’s zoom into 9061 to find out how these work. in order to identify a six figure grid reference we need to. Four figure grid references can be used to pinpoint a location to within a square. to find the number of the square: start at the left hand side of the map and go east until you get to the bottom. To specify a certain feature's location on a map, we can use a grid reference! a grid reference shows a particular location on a map using 4 digits or 6 digits. the grid reference depends on eastings and northings. eastings are eastward measured distances. they are similar to the x axis on a graph. on a map, eastings appear as vertical lines. In this lesson, we will learn how to use four and six figure grid references to specify locations on maps! watch more of our video lessons at geta.
