<div>I suppose that if you download in geographical lat long projection, and that you get the header info from:</div><div><a href="http://edc2.usgs.gov/glcc/globdoc2_0.php#geog" target="_blank">http://edc2.usgs.gov/glcc/globdoc2_0.php#geog</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>then you should be able to set a new location from this info and import straight in GRASS with one of the generic binary input function (maybe in r.in.gdal, maybe another more specific.</div>
