JAD Coordinates

JAD Coordinates are like a special map system used in Jamaica to help people know exactly where a place or piece of land is located. Think of it like the lines and grids you see on a map or a GPS, but made just for Jamaica so everything matches up perfectly. This system is important because it makes sure that when people like builders, landowners, and the government look at maps, they are all using the same measurements and points. It helps avoid confusion, like if two people think the same piece of land belongs to them. JAD Coordinates make it easier to plan things like roads, houses, and even protect the environment by making sure everything is in the right place. It’s like giving everyone in Jamaica the same map to use, so there are no mix-ups when they need to find something or build something new.
