Map grid: a map will be divided into grids using north/south lines and east/west lines.

these could be marked as the latitude and longitudinal lines on a world map to a simplified alphabet and number system for a city map.

if you are looking for a particular grid, usually referenced in the index of the map book. or along the edge of a flat map. then you look along the right edge of the page to find the letter or reference point given. and along the bottom for the next reference point given. then follow the two lines until they cross on the map. the grid square you are looking for will be right and up from the point where they cross. if you search that square you should find what you are looking for.

Map grid a point on a map where two intersecting reference point meet.

If the grid reference of a place is known, it is easy to find the place on a map.

To measure Latitude and Longitude, its similar to plotting points on a plane in math, except in this case the ponts are points on the earth.
