Map grid: option to display coordinate values at view edges

[dg0yt]

puzzlepaint reported on Sourceforge [tickets:#209]:

There should be an option to display for each grid line the coordinate value it corresponds to, at an edge of the view. Values for horizontal lines should be displayed at the left and values for vertical lines at the top.

I would also request that the coordinates that you can view in the lower right corner be easily copiable. Sometimes I need to for instance pass GPS coordinates of start and finish in the booklet of a competition. Naturally I'm reading them from a map. It's so annoying when I have to retype them.

@dominikzalewski: This is a different issue again. The only thing I can do for copying a position is adding an action to the right-click menu. It is not so easy to create good icon for this action:

This would be a great improvement! I presume that it will copy a pair of coordinates and depending on what types of coords are chosen in the lower right corner (DMS, map, etc.) it will copy them in this chosen format. So exactly what you see in the lower right will be copied to the clipboard.

Maybe something similar to this will work as the icon? http://uxrepo.com/static/icon-sets/iconic/svg/location.svg

Thanks for all your support.

@dg0yt: And as for the fact that I'm 'attaching' my issues to other's issue, it's because I thought it will be annoying for you if there are similar issues, but nobody cared to read through the whole list of open issues. But I suppose what I do annoys you even more. Will keep creating new issues then.

I would like to keep similarity with the standard copy icon, and the (pure) location icon might be associated with GPS. So now there are these two options:

The second one is perfect for me. Thanks.
