Exploring Coordinate Grids in EDM 4.7

This video tutorial covers the use of coordinate grids to find distances and coordinates on a map. It begins with an introduction to coordinate grids and their practical applications, such as understanding city layouts. The tutorial then explains how to find coordinates and calculate distances between points on a grid.
