Four Figure Grid Reference: A way of finding a
location on a map using numbers that tell you how
far along the bottom and up the side you need to
go.
Six Figure Grid Reference: A more detailed way of
pinpointing a spot on a map by using six numbers
to show exactly where it is.
Lines of Longitude: Imaginary lines that run from
the North Pole to the South Pole on a map, helping
you measure how far east or west a place is.
Lines of Latitude: Imaginary lines that go from east
to west on a map, helping you measure how far
north or south a place is.
The Prime Meridian: An imaginary line running
from the North Pole to the South Pole that helps
define the Eastern and Western Hemispheres on
Earth.

Ordnance Survey Maps

Ordnance Survey Maps are special maps that help us understand and explore different places in the
United Kingdom. They were first created a long time ago, in 1791, to help the military and protect
the country. The maps show lots of details about the land, like buildings, roads, and even field
boundaries. They are very useful for many different people, like the government, businesses, and
even regular people like us.

Ordnance Survey Maps come in different scales, which means some are more detailed than others.
The large-scale maps show a lot of details and are used by professionals for things like land use
planning. The small-scale maps are more general and are used for leisure activities like hiking and
exploring. They show things like walking routes and landmarks.

Ordnance Survey Maps used to be made on paper, but now they are mostly digital. You can even use
special apps on your phone to help you navigate and explore the outdoors. The maps are very
important and are protected by copyright for 50 years after they are published. This means that they
cannot be copied without permission.

So, if you ever want to explore and understand different places in the United Kingdom, Ordnance
Survey Maps are a great tool to use. They help us see the world in a new light and discover all the
amazing things around us. Whether you're a hiker, a business owner, or just curious about the world,
these maps can help you on your journey.
