[Qgis-user] Lat/long grid in print composer with a Mercator map

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Julian

Yes, at the moment, it is not implemented to have the composer grid in a 
different crs than the map system. Afaik the only possibility now is indeed to 
create a grid shape, reproject and to add the labels manually (which 
unfortunately is not really convenient if you move the print extent often).

Regards,
Marco
