Hello,

(this message might come twice, I get a returned mail because of an not
reachable DNS-Server).

I need some advice in the area of projections...

How to create a location with the following attributes:

Projection: UTM
Horizontal Datum: WGS84
Geoid Model: EGM96 (thats the problem)
Vertical Reference Mean Sea Level (MSL)

It seems, that GRASS have no idea about EGM96, is there another Geoid-name
with the simular specifications?

Is the way correct to import the data into an UTM location, create a
Gaus-Krueger location and import the data from the UTM-location with
r.proj?


Thanks,
Dieter
