[Qgis-user] add coordinates to my map?

[Juan Carlos Giménez]

Hello Peter,
Maybe I misunderstand your question, but I supose you want to add
coordinates to x and y axes in a "printed map".

This is the road map:

1) Open or create a "Print Composer"
2) Add new map (your "view")
3) Go to "Item properties" --> Grids
4) Add new grid (green "+") and select your choice (CRS, interval, style,
...)

Sorry if this don't help you,
Juan Carlos
