Essential tool for giving accurate grid references

Simply position on any map with a scale of 1:50 000 (2cm to 1km) or 1:25 000 (4cm to 1km) (including Ordnance Survey and Harvey maps) and use the handy grid to accurately plot a grid reference.
The accuracy of GPS is wasted if you cannot relate it to your maps.

You may think that you can accurately take a map reading by eye, but trust us, you will usually be out. We have found that the eye is led astray by contours and other markings on the map, making your reading out by up to 50 meters or more on a 1:50,000 map. Eliminate guess work and speed up the process at the same time.
