Good evening, I have upgraded from Linux Mint 17.3. Cinnamon to Mint 18. As a result I have moved from QLandeKarteGT to QMapShack V1.51.
In general very impressed with QMapSHack but I can't seem to make it display grid references in OSGB format. In GT I could do this by entering the short form "+init=epsg:27700 " or using the expanded string "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.9996012717 +x_0=400000 +y_0=-100000 +ellps=airy +datum=OSGB36 +units=m +no_defs" Although QMapShack accepts either of these in the Grid settings, and retains them if I close down and restart QMapShack the grid references remain as Lat and Lon. I am a novice using this type of software as I haven't had a need for them before now. I suspect I am making an elementary mistake so would appreciate any guidance. I know I could just work with Lat and Lon but it would be useful to be able to also use OSGB as I am much of what I am doing ties back to OSGB maps and this would reduce the need to keep converting. Thanks in anticipation.
