Hello all,
I just downloaded the spearfish data set from
http://grass.baylor.edu/sampledata/spearfish_grass5data.tar.gz, and I
have a few questions. When I start up GRASS (on Mac OS X), I'm asked
for my location, mapset, and database. I understand GRASS will always
ask me for this information, but I don't understand how to complete
these fields.
So, if I unzip the download and create the directory
/home/grass/spearfish, would it make sense to choose:
LOCATION: spearfish
MAPSET: ??? <not sure what goes here>
DATABASE: /home/grass/spearfish
Does it even make sense to create this directory? I guess I'm just
confused on how to organize myself as I use new data sets. I
appreciate any help or suggestions that are out there. Thanks a lot!
