Just what I needed, thanks.

Ah, I think this is my next question ... given that my existing location
is in UTM using Australian Geodetic 1966, and the NMEA log conversion
gives me latitude longitude using WGS 84 ... how do I proceed?

I've read the manual pages for v.proj, g.setproj, and I've verified my
datum is in the datum.table, but I don't want to break anything.

Do I run g.setproj to add the datum to the location?  I get a warning
that suggests I should not do this.  I think I'm confused and uncertain.
