FM/BG-1268.V1.01 - Using map tools to determine an accurate 8 figure grid reference
Map tools can be used to more accurately determine 8 figure grid references. To do so, follow the procedure:
- Deploy the map tool and align it to North.
- Place the 0 mark of the grid tool on the target point.
- Read the 4th digit of the easting from the left ruler.
- Read the 4th digit of the northing from the bottom ruler.
- Append both digits to the 6-digit grid.
The grid can now be transmitted using the FM/BS-477 - Read an eight-figure grid reference.
