[Qgis-user] Graticules in QGIS 2.0

[Carlos Cerdán]

Thank you Wesley

Another (maybe easier) way is:

1. Set your CRS in Lat-Long coordinates.
2. Insert a map in composer. This is a Lat-Long map. Put graticule. Take
note of scale.
3. In map canvas change the SRC to desired, for example UTM
4. Insert another map in composer, but just an small part that can be out
the sheet of behind the principal map. Give this small map same scale that
first.
5. Insert a scale bar, linked to second map. This scale bar has UTM units,
so you got a lat-long map, with UTM scale bar.

Regards

Carlos
