If using grid references, this field should contain the precision of the grid reference (100 metres for a 6-figure grid ref etc). Examples: "30" (reasonable lower limit of a GPS reading under good conditions if the actual precision was not recorded at the time). gridReference GridReference Definition: Location of the record using the Ordnance Survey National Grid reference system [Required if decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude aren’t Examples: NS417723 provided] Additional Information: gridReference can be used in place of decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude Definition: The geographic latitude (in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system given in [Required if gridReference geodeticDatum) of the geographic center of a isn’t provided] Location.
