Let Us Use the Graticule
Using the graticule (latitude and longitude), we can pinpoint exact locations on Earth's surface, a practical skill for geography and naviga
Core concept
To find a location using coordinates, we identify its latitude (north-south position) and longitude (east-west position) together.
How it works
For example, a location at 20°N latitude and 78°E longitude can be precisely found on a map or globe using these coordinates.
Why it matters
GPS (Global Positioning System) technology uses latitude and longitude coordinates to help us navigate and find locations accurately.
Key detail
Practising the use of the graticule helps us develop practical geography skills useful for travel, mapping, and navigation.

• Coordinates: latitude (N-S) + longitude (E-W).
• Together they locate a precise point.
• Example: 20°N, 78°E finds a specific location.
• GPS uses these coordinates for navigation.
• It helps find locations accurately.
• Practice builds geography skills.
• This is useful for travel, mapping.
• It's a practical navigation skill.
