[GRASS-user] r.report units in LatLong location

[Gordon Keith]

I'm running r.report and specifying units=me in a Lat-Long location but the 
values it returns appear to be in square degrees not square meters.

Is there a way to get it to report in square meters?

I remember doing this with r.stats back in grass5, but it doesn't seem to work 
any more.

The sort of question I am trying to answer is what area of Australia's EEZ is 
the 100-700 m depth range. I have a raster of .0025 degree topography and a 
shape file of the EEZ. I've converted the shape to a raster and am trying to 
get the result.

Regards
Gordon
