First, thank you to those who replied so quickly. I'm sorry for
posting such basic questions, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing
as I work. Here are the contents of the WIND file in
spearfish/PERMANENT:
==========
proj: 1
zone: 13
north: 4928010
south: 4913700
east: 609000
west: 589980
cols: 634
rows: 477
e-w resol: 30
n-s resol: 30
==========
Then, if I tell GRASS I do want to create location <spearfish>, I see
this:
==========
To create a new LOCATION, you will need the following information:
1. The coordinate system for the database
x,y (for imagery and other unreferenced data)
Latitude-Longitude
UTM
Other Projection
2. The zone for the UTM database
and all the necessary parameters for projections other than
Latitude-Longitude, x,y, and UTM
3. The coordinates of the area to become the default region
and the grid resolution of this region
4. A short, one-line description or title for the location
Do you have all this information for location <spearfish> ? (y/n)
==========
I see the zone and the coordinates, but how do I determine what
coordinate system to use? (x,y or Lat-Long or UTM or Other?)
Okay, thank you again for your help. I really do appreciate it.
Take care,
M
