[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.6 projected graticules

[Lester Anderson]

Hi all

Part of the solution (or workaround) is to use the Vector ->Research Tools
-> Vector Grid option
This gives the lines reasonably well when projected, but the nodes need to
be increased (densified) to give the curved latitudes etc.
Does this sound reasonable?

Still have to label manually

So, not impossible to find a partial solution, but hopefully this will be
built-in eventually. QGIS is a great piece of kit and I am sure it will
gain momentum!
