CH1903 Coordinate System

The CH1903 Coordinate System is a specialized map grid used mainly in Switzerland to pinpoint exact locations on the country's terrain. It divides Switzerland into a grid with eastings and northings, measured in meters, allowing for precise mapping and navigation. Think of it as a local version of latitude and longitude, but tailored for Swiss geography, providing an accurate and consistent way to identify any spot within the country for purposes like surveying, mapping, or navigation.
