The national grid reference system is a location information system that divides the entire national territory into a grid and combines two letters and eight numbers to provide a standardized method for location guidance and notation across the country, serving as a national safety network.



With the installation of these national grid reference plates, location information will be provided at mountainous points where it is difficult to determine exact positions, enabling swift response in disaster situations and playing a significant role in ensuring the safe outdoor activities of visitors and citizens.
