An area reference is a general location indicated on a map, such as a city or region, while a grid reference is a specific point identified by intersecting lines on a grid system, such as latitude and longitude coordinates or a military grid reference system (MGRS). Essentially, an area reference gives a broader location, while a grid reference pinpoints a precise position within that area.
Area refers to a specific region or area on a map, while grid reference is a system of identifying locations on a map using a grid of horizontal and vertical lines. Grid reference provides a more precise way to pinpoint a location compared to just referring to an area.
What is durdle door in 6 grid refrence?
A six figure grid reference is a more detailed type of grid reference. Basically you divide the squares into 100 smaller squares then write a three figure easting then a three figure northing all you really have to do is take away the decimal point
Because it is much more accurate (long distances) Larger the figures the greater the accuracy- (very accurate)
a military reference systemA six figure grid is a map. The map tells reading skills beyond levels.
The difference is that the 4 figure grid map is used for roughly the place that is located in the map while a 6 figure grid is used to find the exact location on the map. So when there's a need to find the exact location use the 6 figure grid instead of the 4 figure grid map.(:
i think its later b
A 6-figure grid reference is a system used to pinpoint a location on a map using 6 digits, with each pair of digits representing a more precise grid square. The first three digits indicate the easting (horizontal) coordinate and the last three digits indicate the northing (vertical) coordinate within that grid square.

On a UK Ordnance Survey map, of a scale of 1:50 000, a sample point could be Buckley Hall, whose grid reference is SD638366. SD is an indication of a 100 000 sheet, 38 is the vertical line to the west, 8 is the tenths: 36 is the horizontal line to the south, 6 being tenths.
As it is 100 times more precise - a place could be anywhere in a big square, but dividing horizontal into 10 smaller lines, and same for vertical, makes 10 x 10 = 100 smaller squares. So aplace can be found more easily.
