Want this question answered?
A map reference indicating a location in terms of a series of vertical and horizontal grid lines identified by numbers or letters.
A grid, or on orthogonal grid, to be more precise.
I think {grid or grid lines} is the term you're looking for.

A map reference indicating a location in terms of a series of vertical and horizontal grid lines identified by numbers or letters.
a grid on a map is like a chart where one side should be numbers and the other side should be letters. like for the question what is located at g4? go to g and over four, and go to four and down four.
There are really two answers to this: If you mean the vertical and horizontal lines, then yes, these are longitude and latitude. If however you mean the lines (particularly on older maps) that seem to run in diagonals almost like a compass...these are known as Rhumb lines and were used to help navigate between major cities or ports.
Grid references are a way to precisely pinpoint a location on a map by using intersecting lines on a grid. The vertical lines are numbered and are called eastings, while the horizontal lines are lettered and are called northings. The intersection of a specific easting and northing provides a unique reference point on the grid to locate a particular place.

Grid references are used to pinpoint specific locations on a map. They consist of two sets of numbers or letters that provide a unique identifier for a position within a grid system, typically used in cartography. The horizontal line is the easting and the vertical line is the northing.
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
