Well, I have room for another degree on longitude, so that's okay :) But couldn't one just do what I suggested, i.e. draw lines one degree apart, then draew lines 1/2 degree apart, and then rename these to be degrees, and halve the numbers? Should work, and the angles won't change. Now, I am very very very lame at geometry (and that's an understatement) which is why I asked. YA
