I have a north azimuthal projection, equal areas. I want to create a map from it (in QGIS) and display a grid on it for better orientation.
Thats how it looks like:
Why doe my degrees have so many zeros? Why isnt it changing from South to North when it obviously is in the north? And why does my grid look like this? Any ideas on that? Can QGis not display a good grid on this kind of projection?
My project is in the projection and all my shapefiles have this projection...
Vector -> Research Tools > Vector grid
: Take the extent of the canvas and round the values to full 10/20/.. degrees and use a cell parameter x of 10 or more, then useVector -> Geometry Tools -> densify Geometry
to get more points on the lines, the set Project CRS back to the equal areas projection. You can label the vector grid too with the COORD field. – AndreJ Mar 20 '15 at 15:21
