Question

Which method is accurate to determine the exact position of a monument?

• A. 3-figure grid reference
• B. 4-figure grid reference
• C. 5-figure grid reference
• D. 6-figure grid reference

Answer 1

The correct option is D 6-figure grid reference

When maps are made on a large scale, the 4 grid reference will tell us the location of the whole area in one square box. Using a 4 figure grid reference, we can tell the location of features like lakes and villages. Therefore locating a monument or temple will not be possible. To locate things more precisely the 6 figure grid reference is used.
