Grid north is a navigational term referring to the direction northwards along the grid lines of a map projection. It is contrasted with true north (the direction of the North Pole) and magnetic north (the direction of the Magnetic North Pole). Many topographic maps, including those of the United States Geological Survey and the Ordnance Survey, indicate the difference between grid north, true north, and magnetic north.

  • Grid north is a navigational term referring to the direction northwards along the grid lines of a map projection. It is contrasted with true north (the direction of the North Pole) and magnetic north (the direction of the Magnetic North Pole). Many topographic maps, including those of the United States Geological Survey and the Ordnance Survey, indicate the difference between grid north, true north, and magnetic north. At the South Pole, grid north conventionally points northwards along the prime meridian.
  • Als Gitternord wird in der Geodäsie und Kartografie eine Bezugsrichtung definiert, die nicht zum geografischen Nordpol der Erde weist, sondern parallel zur Streifenmitte eines geodätischen Koordinatensystems liegt.
  • 方格北（Grid North），也叫格网北、图网北、坐标北或网格北，是指地图投影上坐标纵轴（X轴）正向所指示的方向。与真北和磁北所指示的方向都不重合。
