[Qgis-user] point pattern analysis in West Africa

[RMG]

Hi,
I have a species localities over four countries in West Africa, mostly
straddling Ghana. I have set the layers' CRS to WGS84 UTM31N. I want to do
point pattern analysis by overlaying a grid system over the species range.
I created a 100 km x 100 km grid layer (MMQGIS), but when I measure each
length of the grid using the measurement tool, it shows up as 1 km. What am
I doing wrong? If I change the project CRS to Clark 1880, the distance unit
correctly shows up, but it measures 180 km. What is the remedy to this
problem?

Thanks for your attention.
