 Replying to [ticket:3750 rshepard]:
 > Trying to create a new location using a shapefile .prj. GRASS tells me
 it annot read the file using gdal.

 for me it works with the GUI location wizard; see attached screenshot to
 choose the option ''read projection from a .prj file''.

 > Markus N. confirms this and recommends using the .shp file instead.

 that's the option read projection from a georeferenced file.

 > Setting the location's projection on the command line works, but not
 from the GUI. The 2019-02-09 thread has more details.

 isn't it the other way around?

 CLI with .prj file doesn't work, but GUI with .prj file works.
