I don't think this question has been answered yet. I too would be very interested in a map with an overlay of LAT/LONG coordinates. This would be very useful when chasing the great scenarios in GWX.

Hope this helps.

Nice tool - thanks for this

Just noticed that the off-line map actually does have the LAT/LONG grid - it's just very small numbers. Example below is Trondheim at 64 degrees North, 10 degrees West.

Good point, KPII. On the other hand, if you're anal-retentive like me, and always have a handful of real maps to note cities and landmarks, you'll always have those coordinates handy.:rotfl:

I'm not that hard-core - yet. I was considering getting a few real nautical charts of the North Atlantic to hang on the wall over my bunk - ideally from WWII, but current charts would also do nicely.

Oh, my maps are all modern, and mostly from National Geographic. The coordinates are the same, and so are most of the cities, so I'm happy enough. I just like writing in my log that I'm 40km south of Smoothleg Bay.
