Degrees, from 0˚-360˚, on the compass rose, called
compass bearings, provide a more accurate direction than
Cardinal Points because they measure the angle of the
direction in relation to the North, moving in a clockwise
direction.
Alphanumeric Grid System

Have you ever used a Winnipeg transit map to get

Alphanumeric Grid System



Alphanumeric grid maps are maps that use both letters
and numbers to identify squares in a grid pattern.
The letters are found on one side of the map, while the
numbers are found on the other side.
Alphanumeric grid maps are often used on road maps.

Map (Military) Grid System

The Map Grid, or Military Grid System was developed
and used by Britain in WW1

Vertical lines run from top of the map to the bottom of
the map called easting. These vertical lines are numbered
with a 2 digit number.
 Eg. 81/82/83

The number refers to the column to the right of the
vertical numbered line.


Horizontal lines run across the map from the left of the
map to the right called northing. These horizontal lines
are also numbered with a 2 digit number.
Eg. 09/10/11
The number refers to the row above the horizontal
numbered line.
To identify the square on the map, combine the easting
and northing numbers.
