Hi Mike,
i didn't find how to calculate coordinates for a rectangular grid.
Could you help me ?

    You can create a regular grid of features using the Digitizer Tool. Just select the option on the toolbar (or Digitizer Tool right-click menu) to create a regular grid of features, then left-click for the anchor point (you can manually set later too) and setup the grid size and dimensions.

    Thanks,

    I did the grid but i'd like to have coordinates in the attributes table (lat, lon or X,Y) for all the lines. I'd like to display the labels in a final map.

    If you choose to create lines rather than areas when creating the grid you can use the grid naming of rows and columns to have the label be the coordinates. Just make the row and column start numbers match the start coordinate and the increment match the spacing.

    In this case, it's possible in meters but not in Degree minutes Seconds ?

    If you want grid lines with deg/min/second display you might instead just turn on lat/lon grid lines on the Configuration dialog in Global Mapper. You can specify the spacing and the labels will be based on the Position Display Format setting on the same tab.

    Hi Mike,

    We would like to provide the Minimum Safe Altitude warning for our airspace how can we divide or grid  the whole of the airspace within the surveillance coverage, in cells with the size of four minutes of longitude per four minutes of latitude using global mapper.Our version is 19.. 

     

    177000'E - 177004'E

    177004'E - 177008'E

    177008'E - 177012'E

     

    17000'S - 17004'S




     

    17004'S - 17008'S




     

    17008'S - 17012'S




     

    17012'S - 17016'S




     

    17016'S - 17020'S

    Hello,

    When you define your grid width and height, use "minutes of arc" for the unit.  As long as you put your starting point in the right location, this should do it.

    Cheers,
