It is very rare for a house to split a Grid Square although it could. A
Grid Square is two letters (base 18) followed by two numbers (base 10).
This is referred to as the Field and Square. A subsquare (base 24) makes
the location a bit more exact and another extended square (base 10) even
more exact) Going further with extended squares only makes the accuracy
of the point you are trying to identify more accurate. However, your
Grid Square will never change, it is always the first two letters
followed by the second two numbers.

Hello,
The detail/resolution is excellent - I can count the elements on my 6 meter
beam. The detail
is so good, my living room and my shack have different grid squares. Plus, it
shows your elevation above sea level.
