The World Geographic Reference System (GEOREF) is a geocode, a grid-based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth. GEOREF is essentially based on the geographic system of latitude and longitude, but using a simpler and more flexible notation. GEOREF was used primarily in aeronautical charts for air navigation,[1] particularly in military or inter-service applications, but it is rarely seen today.[citation needed] However, GEOREF can be used with any map or chart that has latitude and longitude printed on it.
