English term or phrase: crisscross the outside world (en este contexto)
Think, for instance, of the satellite network Global Positioning System (GPS), with which geologists and naturalists can now take measurements with the same range of precision outside and inside their laboratories. Think of the monitoring systems for fish quotas, for volcanoes, for glaciers. Everywhere, instruments crisscross the ‘outside world’ as if it was made out of log paper.

cuadriculan el mundo exterior/más allá


Explanation:
como crisscross se refiere no sólo al recorrido sino a las líneas que trazan, podría ser también "trazando cuadrículas en el espacio"
