Grids are used on maps to help us find things quickly and accurately. When a map has a grid you can use co-ordinates to describe where exactly places are. Letters and numbers can be used. Remember to read along the horizontal line first when you are finding places.
Co-ordinates are a simple way of finding somewhere on a map. Every place on a map has co-ordinates. Every map is divided into squares and each square has a name. The name of each square is its co-ordinates.
For example: the top left square on the map above is called A5.
G1 and E5 are the names or co-ordinates of other squares.
Look in B4 and you will find the Amenities Centre. If you found it you are ready to do the challenge!
