About

The Helsinki graticule is at latitude 60, longitude 24.

It includes two of the largest cities in Finland, the capital Helsinki and the second largest city Espoo. The 25 degree line runs through Helsinki, so that the eastern suburbs are in the Vantaa graticule. Finland's fourth largest city, Vantaa, is not inside this graticule. Majority of this graticule consists of rural area, with some larger urban settlements such as Kirkkonummi, Hämeenlinna and Vihti.

Note that the graticule is somewhat distorted due to the "proximity" of North Pole.
