I have a map that I want to keep in the BC Albers (meters) projection but I also want to have the coordinate display show in decimal degrees. It seems with QGIS I currently cannot have it both ways. In Arcmap or Manifold, I am able to keep the map projection and display mouse coordinates as latitude and longitude or decimal degrees regardless of projection.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

If I load a map with a single layer with a projection such as BC Albers and then want to display latitude and longitude coordinates while panning and moving around how do I do this?
<br class=""><br class="">I tried changing the map units in Project Properties but the resulting latitude and longitude is grossly incorrect. I can turn on CRS and then reproject into something like EPSG:4326 and then my latitude and longitude work properly but then my map data is skewed due to the reprojection and not displaying the way I'd like to see it.
