How to use Grab a Grid Reference

To find a grid reference first select the desired scale boxes on the right. Drag the place marker on the map to the approximate location. Use the '+' button on the map to zoom in and then the 'Satellite' button for aerial image and adjust the place marker. The grid square of the selected resolution will be displayed on the map and the grid reference for that square will appear on the right-hand side.

Alternatively you can use the arrow buttons on the map or drag the map to the desired location and then hit the 'Get The Marker' button'.

To paste the grid reference into the Grid Reference box above, double-click either the green six-figure grid reference, or the blue four-figure grid reference to select, right-click and select 'Copy'. Click the link below to return to the grid reference box, right click the box and select 'Paste'.
