Mapping Tools
Here are a few helpful tools to ensure that you map and record the correct location and grid reference for your records.
| Grid References | We highly recommend Bedfordshire Natural History Society’s Grab a Grid Ref for obtaining grid references for locations. |
| Maps: Cumbria Tetrads, Hectads and Vice-counties |
DINTY tetrads (2km squares) of the form NY33J, hectads (10km squares) such as NY33 and Watsonian vice-counties such as Vice-county 69 Westmorland with Furness are all often used in biological recording. To get the hectad, tetrad or vice-county for a particular place we recommend using the Grab a Grid Reference facility above. For an overview of the county, please download an A3 PDF map. |
| Mapping Tool | This is an interactive web mapping tool with Google and Open StreetMap layers developed using OpenLayers Library and Proj4js Library. |
