    So.. I just drew a grid with 20px spacing, by hand, on a 3000 x 3000 image... and THEN found this post.

    Could it be a tutorial?

    I'd be surprised if it's not in one of the tutorials or the helpful tips thread (can't remember if it was a stick). I know I started using grids in photoshop once I read about it here.

    Well maybe I'm just blind. Or illiterate. Or *both*, before I've had my coffee

    Don't worry I had no idea idea when I started using GIMP. I used to draw a grid in crazy ways until I found the function under Pattern.

    Here's a video I made on the basics of grids using GIMP. This video also shows you how to make the little "cross" markers so popular in outdoor 4e battlemaps

    for equator and tropics bands i would use MMPS or Qgis
    the equatorial is easy

    the two " tropics " are based on the planetary tilt

    so depending on your map projection this would be very easy or a bit complex
