Working with a Grid

The video tutorial introduces the concept of grids, explaining their structure with vertical and horizontal lines. It demonstrates how grids can be used to find locations on a map by assigning numbers to vertical lines and letters to horizontal lines. The tutorial provides practical examples, such as locating a house or a gas station using grid coordinates, making it easier to understand how grids work in real-world applications.
