2. Many portable GPS receivers can read out

Maidenhead* grid squares automatically.

*An instrument of the Maidenhead Locator System (named after the town outside

London where it was first conceived by a meeting of European VHF managers in

1980), a grid square measures 1¡ã latitude by 2¡ã longitude and measures approximately 70 x 100 miles in the continental US. A grid square is indicated by two letters

(the field) and two numbers (the square).. ¡°
