Most good road atlases and fold-up road maps show latitude and longitude marks along the borders
of each map, although the lines aren't drawn across the map.
Also, every package of road-atlas computer software has complete lat/long data, for every
place it displays.
The Mercator projection does that.
The Mercator projection
Lines of latitude run from east to west and lines of longitude run north to south, they help give the position on earths surface.
Lines of longitude
That is called latitude.

it is easy if you can find a globe or a map of that country that numbers & shows the parallels of latitude as horizontal lines & the meridians of longitude as vertical lines most tho not all maps & globes do this so keep looking for one that does alternatively encyclopedia articles about countries usually give this information too but you may also need to read an article about how to understand & read latitude & longitude if these methods dont immediately work for you
it uses latitude and longitude
Lines of longitude
That is called latitude.
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.
Use a map that shows longitude and latitude.
Latitude and longitude lines are imaginary grid lines that assign coordinates on the Earth's surface.Latitude indicates the position north or south of the equator, as an angle to the equatorial plane. This can be from 0° (equator) to 90° north or south (the poles). Latitude lines circle the Earth.Longitude is the division of the spherical Earth into 360 equal degree segments, as lines connecting the poles. The 0° point is arbitrarily assigned near Greenwich, England, and all other locations in degrees east or west, meeting at 180° (E or W), generally near the International Date Line in the western Pacific Ocean.At the equator, they form a roughly square grid, with degrees of latitude and longitude nearly equal in length. Moving toward the poles, longitude shows a decrease in miles per "horizontal" degree.
A Map, in one one of these different types of projections: Mercator, Gnomonic, and Polyconic. Mercator - Shows the whole world except for the poles. Gnomonic - A circle projection showing, most often, the poles but sometimes other small places of the earth. Polyconic - Made as if a cone of paper had been wrapped around the earth, often used for places in the middle latitudes, such as the United States.
Imanginary lines that run north and south of the globe. This line shows distance in degrees from the prime meridan.
