Map of Europe with a 30° graticule in dark gray. A graticule or grid (from Latin crāticula 'grill/grating'), on a map, is a graphical depiction of a coordinate system as a grid of coordinate curves or "lines", each curve/line representing a constant coordinate value. [1]

The lines from pole to pole are lines of constant longitude, or meridians. The circles parallel to the Equator are circles of constant latitude, or parallels. The graticule shows the latitude and longitude of points on the surface. In this example, meridians are spaced at 6° intervals and parallels at 4° intervals.

The coordinates and maps in Europe based on ETRS89 are not subject to change due to the continental drift. The development of ETRS89 is related to the global ITRS geodetic datum, in which the representation of the continental drift is balanced in such a way that the total apparent angular momentum of continental plates is about 0.
