as recommended I moved here to make a new post rather than adding to an 6 year old one.
This one: http://latex-community.org/forum/viewto ... 1&start=10
by the way, sorry I don't know how to link properly.
This is a crosspost to http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... oordinates
I got the problem that the code I modified is kinda old so... well I show you:
I want this: which works in writeLatex, the problem is it uses estyle which leads to removed latitude and longitude circles using texniccenter and miktex: Replacing estyle by style, makes the lines appear again, but confused all the nodes: As far as I now this is a problem of the old code I am using, I would really appreciate some suggestions or somebody who knows the changes of tikz from i guess 1.5 to 3.0+
If somebody could tell me how to place my points again it should work.
Thanks and kind regards
