I figured I would check out how maps has been coming along since I saw the announcement about the D&D Beyond Drops. Is there still no option to add a grid? If this still has not been considered as part of the Maps VTT roadmap, I hope it gets added soon. I'm not sure I'll be able to even give maps a fair shot until it has some of the basic options that other VTTs offer.
"Grids are not RAW" is probably the answer you're going to get.
Same reason they don't add hexagons as an option.
I'm frustrated with their refusal to provide grids and/or hexagons, but I figured out what the line is going to be.

I wouldnt consider it a basic feature, there are quite a few people who like it as it is, its also close to actual table this way. I wouldnt mind an option I dont have to use, but it might also not be that easy to provide that option. Since Maps mostly uses the regular Maps from the published books and all those have a drawn in grid, aligning the drawn grid with the VTT grid would be fiddley, I have spent hours trying to get that right on Roll20. I thought the way maps lets you scale the map by just resizing a medium token to fit the drawn grid and then the map just knowing how much 5ft are and scaling everything to that so smart. I prefer that a lot to how other VTTs do it.
