It is a method used to identify a specific area on a map.
The map is overlaid with a grid or square boxes in columns and rows.
Each row and column have a number.
By giving a row and column number any particular box or part of the grid can be identified.
It should be noted that in some countries the column number is given first followed by the row number, in other countries, this is reversed.
Be sure you are aware of which convention is being used.
