'''Georef''' ('''World Geographic Reference System''') is 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]]{{dn|date=July 2013}}. Georef was used primarily for air navigation, particularly in military or inter-service applications, but it is rarely seen today. However, Georef can be used with any map or chart that has latitude and longitude printed on it.
