Reporting your current location:
2.
A full 14-digit grid reference is only
warranted in a radio message with
'search-critical'
information;
for
example, "
BSAR 4 has found the missing
person at 55H 0357179 5826488
".
3.
To give a routine location in a radio
message, or in general discussion, a
description followed by a 6 figure grid
reference is used.
4.
A 6 figure GR can be read off a hardcopy
map. Alternatively, the 6 figure GR can
be determined using the GPS location
display: the red numbers, as shown (i.e.
ignore the last 2 right side digits on each
line).
