6 Figure Grid References

It is useful to understand how to use 4 figure grid references before continuing on to look at 6 figure grid references.

A four figure reference will point you to a square on the map. Six figure grid references are used to pin point a location within a square. It is important to be able to both find details given by a 6 figure grid reference as well as being able to work out the 6 figure grid reference for any point on the map.

How to work out 6 figure grid references… Let us first look at how the 6 figure grid reference is made up. Let us take as an example. The first 3 figures refer to the easting of the point (or the distance along the map) While the second 3 figures refer to the northing of the point (or the distance up the map).

Looking at our number is the Easting. 21 is the grid line and 6 is the number of tenths along towards the next grid line. 322 is the Northing. 32 is the grid line and 2 is the number of tenths along towards the next grid line. Start by working out the basic Easting and Northing as you would for a 4 figure grid reference using only the first 2 easting values and the first 2 northing values. Then imagine that grid square divided into tenths.

Let us find the 6 figure grid reference for the church on the map below The church is in grid square If we imagine that square divided into 10 parts, the church is 2 tenths further east and 2 tenths further north. So the 6 figure grid reference will be
