Longitudes

Parallel and
Equidistant

Longitudes not
Parallel and
equidistant

Distance
between
successive
eastings or

2 cm

Distance
between two
degrees of
latitude may
be as large as
222 cm

Conclusion
Both grid systems do not

overlap
System of Eastings and
Northings is more
accurate
System of Eastings and
Northings is simpler

First two digits are eastings

Next two digits are northings
By convention, lesser value is always taken
