I am currently trying out GeoMakie. I have an issue with axis tick labels appearing on the axis or inside the figure.

Is there an a simple way to simply shift all x position of y ticks and all y position of x tick or does one need to fully do it manually (as in [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-tweak-tick-label-position-in-makie/60085))?

Here’s an example:

… and a data-free MWE:

```julia
using GeoMakie
function MWE()
    x = LinRange(44., 48., 100)
    y = LinRange( 7., 8., 100)
    fig = Figure()
    ax = GeoAxis(fig[1, 1], 
        xlabel = L"Longitude [$\degree$]", 
        ylabel = L"Latitute [$\degree$]", 
        lonlims = (minimum(x), maximum(x)), 
        latlims = (minimum(y), maximum(y)),
        xlabelsize=20, ylabelsize=20, xticklabelsize=20, yticklabelsize=20
        )
    image!(ax, x, y, zeros(length(x), length(y)))
    ax.aspect = ((x[end]-x[begin])/ (y[end]-y[begin]))
    display(fig)
end
MWE()

```

EDIT: The solution presented [there](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-tweak-tick-label-position-in-makie/60085) based on `xticklabelalign` does not appear to work any longer.

Hi @Gravlax !

I am having the same problem! Did you find any work around?

I opened an issue in GeoMakie.jl project:
