Grid in map

OpenStreetMap Questions and Answers
#1

Hello

Is there a way to draw a grid with collumns and rows for an area?
So I can write in eg. a excel sheet the position of a point not only as coords, but as row/col (just for better find in the printet map?

thank you,
andi

There are several projects producing paper maps.
See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_on_Paper
MapOSMatic for example.

Maybe you find more hints on https://help.openstreetmap.org/ when doing a search for “grid” there?

I think it is called a graticle.

Thank you verry much!

@muralito
this Information was verry helpfull. I found some solutions for other stuff!
MapOSMatic can’t do it on an area, as big as I need. Only for smaler areas like towns…

@nevw
That’s what I’m looking for.

Thank you verry much to all!
