  9. Grid References (WB:51-52) • to tell locations on a map • two sets of lines • vertical – eastings (number values increase eastwards) • horizontal – northings (number values increase northwards) • grid square  4-figure • location  6-figure

  10. Grid References

  11. Grid References(WB:53) 147343 1132

  12. Scale (WB:54-55) • to show the number of times that the actual size of the ground has been reduced • helps us find out real distance / area from the map

  13. Scale • Statement Scale • describes the scale in words • e.g. 1 cm to 200m • Representative Fraction (R.F.) • shows scale in the form of a fraction / ratio • e.g. 1:20000 • Linear Scale • uses a line to show the scale • e.g.
