 <h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
 
-Make a 4x3 grid, cells 20km a side, with lower left corner at 2716500,6447000:
+1) Create a grid in a latitude-longitude location (WGS84):
+
 <div class="code"><pre>
+# use g.region to easily calculate rows and column for 'grid':
+g.region n=90 s=-90 w=-180 e=180 res=10 -p
+projection: 3 (Latitude-Longitude)
+zone:       0
+datum:      wgs84
+ellipsoid:  wgs84
+north:      90N
+south:      90S
+west:       180W
+east:       180E
+nsres:      10
+ewres:      10
+rows:       18
+cols:       36
+cells:      648
+
+# create 10 degree size grid:
+v.mkgrid map=grid_10deg grid=18,36
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>
+2) Make a 4x3 grid, cells 20km a side, with lower left corner at 2716500,6447000:
+<div class="code"><pre>
 v.mkgrid map=coro_grid grid=4,3 position=coor coor=2716500,6447000 box=20000,20000
 </pre></div>

+<p>
+3) Make a 10x12 lat/lon grid, cells 2 arc-min a side, with lower left corner
 at 167deg 52min east, 47deg 6min south. For use with e.g. QGIS you can then
 pull this grid into a projected location with <em>v.proj</em> before
 exporting as a Shapefile with <em>v.out.ogr</em> (within GRASS you could
-just use <em>d.grid -w</em> from the projected location for the same effect).
+just use <em>d.grid -w</em> from the projected location for the same effect):
