By estimating the eastings and northings to within 1/10 of the grid interval you can give a 6-figure grid reference that is accurate to within 100 metres on the ground. Six figure Grid References See: geographic-resources/the-national-grid.html

Help you to pinpoint locations Remember – ‘along the corridor and up the stairs’ The first three figures are ‘eastings’ and you read these from left to right or eastwards The second set of three figures is the ‘northings’ and you read these in a northerly direction. Six figure grid references Read eastings eastwardsRead northings northwards E N

Reading a six figure Grid Reference eastings Easting 328 Grid Reference: NY The first set of figures are the eastings (328) The second set of figures are the northings (088) Figures on the map showing numbers 30, 31, 32, 33 are eastings Start at easting 32 go 8/10 of the way along the distance between 32 and 33 to find 328 Start at northing 08 and go northwards 8/10 of the distance to 09 to find 088 northing 088 northings See: geographic-resources/the-national-grid.htmlhttp:// geographic-resources/the-national-grid.html
