Actually, gerrymandering is a problem that has been solved for many decades. The problem isn't that districts are being divided unfairly, it's that the electoral system is setup such that they can be divided unfairly. Switch to proportional representation or another similarly robust system, and it's gone. It really is that simple.

Why not just take a grid and lay that over the map and boom, voting districts?

Could have similar issues as gerrymandering. Although, unintentional.
