Well, MAP_GRID allows you to specify exactly where the labels
go with LATLAB and LONLAB. Seems to me you could just position
the labels where you want them to go. Since you can do this
independently of the actual grid lines, this seems like the
perfect solution. Have you tried this?
Cheers,
David

Hi David,
I don't see more options in map_grid than in map_set to tackle this
problem. Even if the annotation baseline is left or right justified by
the alignment keyword, there is not an appropriate distance to the
gridlines to look nice. This seems to be a problem when the plot
position is calculated in the IDL routine.
Cheers,
Klemens

I think maybe you want to be looking at MAP_GRID, rather
than MAP_SET. More options there. :-)
Cheers,
