 And design is? Currently you can enable reprojection from combobox located
 in the mapdisplay statusbar, item "Projection". Note that only statusbar
 coordinates are reprojected, not the data.

 source:grass/trunk/gui/wxpython/gui_modules/mapdisp.py

 Go ahead.

 not match with the projection of the location?

 The required item is proj string not the EPSG code. Coordinates in the
 statusbar are reprojected. This is what you are asking for, no?
