Coordinate meter is a tool used to locate points on geographic maps. Usually it has several scales (1: 25,000 - 1: 40,000 - 1: 50,000) among which the most used is the scale 1: 25,000 (1 cm on the scale: 25,000 cm real) divided into quadrants of 4 cm side, 1km side by side in reality.

To locate a point in the map with the coordinate meter, proceed as follows:
The coordinate vertex should be positioned at the meeting point (cross) between the crossed meridian and the cross-linked parallel. This applies to the IGM (Military Geographic Institute) maps, where the lines that delimit the quadrants are usually purple.
