[Qgis-user] Lat/Long Grids

[Lene Fischer]

Hi Grant,
I do understand.
At first you can choose between decimal, degree/min , Dec/min/sec. That part one of the solutions.
Secondly you can use the offset. Simply take the minutes eg 42 and divide it with 60 in the x box write 42/60. It will then change the value to 0,7 and the grid will show as you wish.

Hi Lene,

I have played around with these settings but my problem is getting QGIS to plot a grid with a specific value (say 123 deg 42 min for example), not as an automatic selection (123 deg 42.7 min) based on the interval (which is in decimal degrees). Ideally what I need it to do is to plot the grid at a specific minute spacing, not a decimal degree spacing.

Hope that makes sense!

Cheers Grant

Hi Grant,
In the Print Composer>Item Properties>Map you can find Grids / Draw Grid/ Draw Coordinate
Here you can specify the CRS and the format of the coordinates.

Here a quick video for an example (Sorry forgot to turn on the mic): http://www.screencast.com/t/yy83fxLPm

Is there a way to draw a geographic grid with degrees-min with exact minutes? I don't seem to be able to find the option to specify the degrees-minutes option when displaying coordinates in the map composer. I get decimal degrees-minutes with odd decimal grid values (e.g. 16deg 42.7' for example). The interval is only displayed in decimal degrees. Is there an option to specify the minute value?
