Grid to place Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grids and state For example, you might want to use a measured It is also possible to combine grids and graticules to display multiple coordinate systems on the same map. Below is a map of Europe where graticules are visible for every 5 degrees latitude and 10 degrees longitude: Graticules can be used to show location in geographic coordinates Graticules are lines showing parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude for the earth. For example, below is a map depicting a 10,000-meter grid using the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS):
There are numerous ways to display measured grids. You can also use grids to display measured locations using projectedĬoordinates on the map. Here is a map divided into five columns (A through E) and five rows (1 to 5): Often, the row andĬolumn labels of a reference grid identify locations listed in a
