Six figure grid references allow narrowing down a location to within 100 square meters by dividing each grid square into ten equal sections vertically and horizontally. The document provides instructions on using more accurate six figure grid references, including working through an activity sheet to practice, and encoding a message using the grid references. It emphasizes the need for greater accuracy in location references.

Why do we need more accuracy? Lets zoom in on one grid square……. Lets try that without the lines…. Six figure grid references allow us to narrow down an area of 1 square kilometre to an area of 100 metres squared. This means we can be much more accurate.
To use six figures we must
divide the distance between two grid lines into ten equal sections. The A – Z of 6 Figure Grid References
