∙ 14y agoMost good road atlases and fold-up road maps show latitude and longitude marks along the borders
of each map, although the lines aren't drawn across the map.
Also, every package of road-atlas computer software has complete lat/long data, for every
place it displays.

∙ 14y agoThe Mercator projection does that.
The cylindrical map projection, such as the Mercator projection, shows all latitude and longitude lines as parallel. However, this projection distorts the size of land masses the further they are from the equator.
Lines of latitude run from east to west and lines of longitude run north to south, they help give the position on earths surface.
Latitude and longitude lines are imaginary grid lines that assign coordinates on the Earth's surface.Latitude indicates the position north or south of the equator, as an angle to the equatorial plane. This can be from 0° (equator) to 90° north or south (the poles). Latitude lines circle the Earth.Longitude is the division of the spherical Earth into 360 equal degree segments, as lines connecting the poles. The 0° point is arbitrarily assigned near Greenwich, England, and all other locations in degrees east or west, meeting at 180° (E or W), generally near the International Date Line in the western Pacific Ocean.At the equator, they form a roughly square grid, with degrees of latitude and longitude nearly equal in length. Moving toward the poles, longitude shows a decrease in miles per "horizontal" degree.
A world map shows all lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator and are also known as parallels, while lines of longitude converge at the poles and are known as meridians. Together, they form a grid system that helps in pinpointing any location on Earth.

it is easy if you can find a globe or a map of that country that numbers & shows the parallels of latitude as horizontal lines & the meridians of longitude as vertical lines most tho not all maps & globes do this so keep looking for one that does alternatively encyclopedia articles about countries usually give this information too but you may also need to read an article about how to understand & read latitude & longitude if these methods dont immediately work for you
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.
Use a map that shows longitude and latitude.
Latitude and longitude coordinates are used to locate places on Earth's surface. Latitude measures a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude measures its distance east or west of the prime meridian. These coordinates provide a precise way to pinpoint any location on the planet.

absolute if it shows latitude and longitude because it show the exact place in degrees, relative if it shows land marks only....
Imanginary lines that run north and south of the globe. This line shows distance in degrees from the prime meridan.
The Mercator projection preserves straight lines, making it useful for navigation. It also shows true direction, making it valuable for sailors and pilots. Additionally, it accurately represents shapes and angles near the equator.
