Just to correct this for the mailing list record...
You can overlay data from different mapsets within a location (i.e. they all
have the same projection) but not from a different location...the whole
GRASS location concept is based around the fact that locations are
incompatible in this way.

You could use viewproj (src.contrib/LM/viewproj) for viewing data from
different locations overlaid, but I haven't tried it and it is old and doesn't
support datum conversions so maybe isn't a lot of use.
