Map Romer Card
These useful see-through map cards are great for reading bearings, distances and grid references on 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 scale maps. The romer can be purchased as part of the Map Reading Guide, or downloaded for reference.
A romer can be used for determining the last Easting and last Northing figures for a six-figure grid reference:
- Place the top right hand corner intersection of the romer lines over the point of interest.
- Read the numbers from this point to the left to give the final Easting figure, and down to give the final Northing figure.
- The number required is the last number read, before the grid line on the map crosses the romer.
