<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Verdana color=#004080 size=2><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Hi,</FONT>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.21cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.14cm; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">I need to import some shapefiles that are in a different projection from my mapset. I wish I could do that directly, i.e. that the maps could pe projected to my location as they were imported (for example, if v.proj worked also for non-GRASS maps, as long as they came with georrefering information). But as I understand, I have to create a new mapset and a new location with the projection information of those external maps, import them there, then switch to my mapset and run v.proj from here.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.21cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.14cm; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">The problem is I don't have all the information I need to create the location for those shapefiles, or the projection information is not supported by GRASS (I can't find any similar option when creating a location from QGIS).</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.21cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.14cm; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Is there any way to import a map, automatically creating a new GRASS location matching the georreferencing information contained in that map?</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.21cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.14cm; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Thanks a lot,</FONT></P>
