(no example)
[edit] More options
we might want to discuss these eventually
- using the less cluttered Template:Graticule2. It has two parameters lat and lon instead of map which requires a tag as parameter. You can still use map if you have any special image to be displayed. We could even move the template to the old name Template:Graticule
- using the <mapimg> tag instead of <map> saves a bit of space. (fifth example on the right)
