Grid+and+Area+References


 * __A. Grid and Area References__**
 * Grid and area references are used to **determine the location of an object on a map**
 * 1. Area Reference**
 * An Area reference is a **4 digit number**
 * Area reference will tell you a box inwhich the **point or location is in**
 * An example is below:


 * 2. Grid Reference**
 * A grid reference is a **6 digit number**
 * The grid reference will tell you **the exact location of a point or place**
 * It is calculated by **dividing the area reference box into 10 sections**
 * You add another number to the end of the 2, **2 number sections**
 * **eg.** In the above picture, the top point of the triangle would be at 255668
 * Objects that lye on the line (the star in the middle) would be at 250650
