Removing -B5 from the above command may solve your problem.

Hello, in this map I also got the problem with the appearance of W, S. It should be shown 0N or 100W. But I didn’t. How I fix it?

Can you please show me your new figure so that I can understand the problem?

Do you want to have suffix like N, S, W and E? If so, you should set the parameter FORMAT_GEO_MAP.

I also fixed that. Thanks a lot!
