How do you map coordinates on a grid?
Quote from video: The number of the horizontal grid line on the bottom or south side of the grid square gives the fourth and fifth digits of the coordinate. Determine the third and sixth digits of the coordinate.

4 digits – 2306 – locates a point with a precision of 1,000-meters (a neighborhood size area). 6 digits – 234064 – locates a point with a precision of 100-meters (a soccer field size area). 8 digits – 23480647 – locates a point with a precision of 10-meters (the size of a modest home).
