 When setting locations at high latitudes, the meridians / parallels
 spacing ratio tend to be small.  Find attached an example of a lcc grid
 with projection at high lats (lcc_geogrid.png).

 In order to have a better output we could introduce parameters for
 optional separate ew and ns (geo)grid sizing.

 Also it will be important to set a minimum/maximum for grid drawing, so we
 can avoid cluttering the maps as soon as meridians become too dense (e.g.
 in polar areas).
