Four-figure grid references When giving a four-figure grid reference, you should always give the easting’s number first and the northings number second, very much like when giving the reading of a graph in school, where you give the x coordinate first followed by the y. An easy way to remember this is that to get the first number, you go along the corridor (horizontal, x axis, easting’s) and then up the stairs (vertical, y axis, northings).

For example, the number 2 in the diagram below is square 19 across and square 45 up and therefore, the four-figure grid reference is ‘1945’. The numbered squares on the diagram above have the following four-figure grid references: 1 = 18 45 2 = 19 45 3 = 18 444 = 19 44.

Slide 1. In order to give something a six-figure grid reference, imagine the larger square split into one hundred smaller squares. Then add numbers 1 to 10 between the main lines. To work out the six-figure grid reference, first go along the bottom line and calculate the first three figures.
