What is a four-figure and a six-figure grid reference, and which is more precise?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A four-figure grid reference names a whole grid square, giving the eastings first and then the northings. A six-figure reference divides each square into tenths and so names a point within the square, which is far more precise.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Eastings are always read before northings.
