This grid names columns with letters and rows with numbers. Read the column first, then the row. A grid address locates a cell, not an exact point within the cell.

Worked example

A hut in column B and row 2 is in B2. Reversing the order would not follow this map key.

Grid with columns A through D and rows 1 through 3, numbered downward. A circle occupies B2, meaning column B and row 2. The cell address does not specify a position within that cell.

Would you believe it?

Two places can have the same straight-line separation but very different travel distances because roads and paths take different routes.
