The standard military tactical map is 1:50000 scale. Each grid is a square kilometer. To figure out your 4-digit grid location, read bottom, then side; e.g., NK4578.

To figure out your 6-digit grid, eyeball it or use a square protractor to get NK455785.

To get your 8-digit grid, sharpen your pencil and get out your magnifying glass to get NK45527857.
