The '''worldWorld geographicGeographic referenceReference systemSystem''' ('''GEOREF''') 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]]. 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.
