Every map is cut into 300 m squares: letters across the top, numbers down the side, so D6 is one square. Each square splits into a keypad of nine 100 m boxes, numbered like a keyboard's number pad (7 top-left, 3 bottom-right). Each keypad box splits the same way again. D6-7-3 means square D6, top-left box, then its bottom-right corner.
