Is there something online, where you can search on map quadrants?

....also, is this a map quadrant Pi.Qu 06 Ost/6266?

the us has a site:

US Topo

where you can buy the downloads by quadrant. i bought several of these years back ( proir to gps ) for back-packing. as for if that was the name of a quardant i could not tell you. i am sure each government has a different way to name their maps

and online there is a free site ( for the us )

MyTopo Free Online Topo Maps

i imagine other countries have the same thing

Fla-eee-dah!

Don Caldwell's JG 26 website used to have the maps for Europe. They were rather large files.

Hi,

It should be Pl.Qu., or Planquadrat (German for grid square). 06 Ost is the square containing Norway.

Much information can be found on SES' website, here: Reporting grids. The downloadable LUMA convertor on that page will provide an exact location for your Pl.Qu. reference.

Cheers,
Andrew A.

Hi,

Not sure what the problem is there, but I entered the figures into my LUMA convertor, and it came up with 61 22 30 N, 6 55 0 E, which is Riksveg 5 1240, 6856 Sogndal, southern Norway.

Cheers,
