displaying maps from multiple grass locations

[R.A.Sanderson]

Dear GRASS users

This is probably a trivial question, but how do you display maps in a
location other than the one you're working in during a GRASS session?
(Apologies if this question has been posted before.)

For example, we have a location 'UK' covering the whole country, but we
also have locations for various regions within the country.  Sometimes I'd
like to display one of the maps from a regional location whilst I'm running
GRASS in the UK location.  The clumsy way of doing it is to export the map
using r.out.ascii from one location, then re-import it with r.in.ascii into
the other location, but this wastes both time and valuable disk space.  Any
suggestions for better methods? Thanks in advance for your help.
