[GRASS-dev] [grass-code R][428] Warn about wrong epsg code when creating a location in grass 6.2

[Michael Barton]

AFAICT, there is no way for the GUI to know if an EPSG code is bad. Perhaps
g.proj can test for this, but I wouldn't count on it.

The procedure to create a location from a georeferenced file is different
from the procedure to create it from an EPSG code, so I'm not sure what you
are referring to below.
