Show Long/Lat lines on chart?

[OrignalBudman]

How do I display Longitude and Latitude, at least to the degree? The chart displays the grid in 5 degree increments but the numbers are very hard to read. And I need to be able to plot, for instance, 28* N, but can't figure out how to display this line on the charts.

This may have moved around a bit depending on version, but in Optionsisplay:General there is a tickbox for "show grid".

It sounds like, however, that the grid is already shown at 5 degree intervals? That in turn makes me think you are using raster charts, and quite frankly I simply don't remember how the "show grid" option behaves with raster charts.

Not finding a check box for "show grid". Checked the online manual. It sends me to the same place, but there's nothing on that panel.

The Lat/Long of the cursor is shown in the status bar...


Or Drop a mark anywhere then edit the position. It will move where you want it.

In v5.6, "Show Grid" is not in the main "Options - Display - General", but it's in Chart Panel Options (the "hamburger" at the bottom right of the screen.)

Works on raster charts as well.

Examples grid on vector and raster...
