    To read a grid reference on a map: 1. Always start from the bottom left corner and read the easting value first, followed by the northing value for a four-figure reference. 2. For a six-figure reference, further divide the grid square into 10 equal parts along the easting and northing lines and read the additional digits. 3. Examples are given of locating features on maps using grid references read from the x-axis (easting) first and then the y-axis (northing).

    How to read Grid reference:

    1. Always remember to read from the bottom left corner.


    2. If the question ask for the four-figure grid reference or grid square of a particular
    building, e.g. the Hindu temple shown in Fig 1. Read the number for the easting first
    (from the X axis) and then the northings (from the Y axis). E.g example in Fig.1 is
    located in 2672
    3. If the question ask for the six-figure grid reference or grid square of a particular building,
    e.g. the Hindu temple shown in Fig 2. Start by finding the grid square with the feature,
    then divide the grid square into 10 equal parts along both the northings and eastings.
    Place a ruler onto the bottom left corner of the feature, e.g. the Hindu temple is located at
    266727. Read the number for the easting first (from the X axis) and then the northings
    (from the Y axis).
