Jonathan Saunders Posted 31 August , 2006 Share Posted 31 August , 2006 A quick and potentially stupid question. If I have a report referring to co-ordinates on a 1:20000 scale map. Would I be able to use these same co-ordinates to find the location on a 1:10000 scale map? Many thanks in advance, Jon S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 31 August , 2006 Share Posted 31 August , 2006 Yes indeed. Squares are obviously different sizes (scales) but the co-ordinates and numbering method work the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Poilu Posted 31 August , 2006 Share Posted 31 August , 2006 Mandy, Jon, May I recommend this web page below for more info. It is a superb summary of everything you ever really needed to know about how trench maps 'work' and what all the numbers mean: http://www.great-war-trench-maps.com/uatm.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
