moving raster maps across UTM zone boundaries

[Bruce K. Wylie (303) 490 8336]

Look at the SCS contrib commands m.setproj and v.proj to move a
vector file from one projection (MapsetX with UTM zone x) to
another projections (MapsetY with UTM zone z). Note that MapsetX
and MapsetZ must lie under the same Location.

P.S. Note: I have not done this but this is how I would approach
your problem
