Using THE BASIC ROAMER₆^©to plot and give a precise location is very easy, for example, please see below, which shows THE BASIC ROAMER₆^© in the correct position to show map reference 728¹/₄628¹/₄, using Ordnance Surbey, Landranger map 175 or 186. With the map open and laid flat, to expose the bottom LEFT hand corner of map 175 or the top LEFT hand corner of map 186, find the vertical grid line 72 and the parallel grid line 62, place THE BASIC ROAMER₆^© onto the map, using the 1:50,000 scale, as shown in the diagram, with the top RIGHT hand corner where the vertical line 72 joins the parallel line 62. Now move the THE BASIC ROAMER₆^© along towards the right  (eastwards = Easting) to a point which is 81/4 tenths from the gridline 72, this will give you the first part of the reference 7281/4, maintain this part of the plot, by holding the THE BASIC ROAMER₆^©, flat against  the map, now slide it gently towards the top of the grid square (northwards = northing) to a point which is 81/4 tenths from the gridline 62, this will give you the complete map reference 728¹/₄628¹/₄, which is the main entrance building and shop at the entrance to THE WELLINGTON COUNTRY PARK.

Because the 1:25,000 scale Ordnance Survey, Pathfinder maps can show greater detail, it is possible to show by map reference, opposing ends of the same building, using the same method for plotting as in paragraph 1 and looking at diagram 2 on page one of this leaflet. For example, on map/sheet 1188SU 66/76 the reference for the South Westerley corner is 7288¹/₂6282¹/₄ which could be shown as 728825628225, where as the reference for the North Easterly corner of the same building is  7289¹/₂6285, which can also be shown as 728950628500, which is the approximately 40yds or 36.5 metres away, the other scales and information on THE BASIC ROAMER₆^© are self explanatory.
