[GRASSLIST:7819] Re: XY to projection

[Dave Sampson]

RAVI,

I'll try to help out, and perhaps others will offer a hand.

Sounds like you started on the right path. If you have not already done 
so, check out the tutorial.. GRASS in 10 Minutes 
[http://grass.itc.it/gdp/grass5tutor/HTML_en/c255.html]. The link will 
take you RIGHT to the georeferencing section of which I got all I know 
about the process you try.

For the zooming, try setting your default region to the area of you map.

g.region will do this for you.  type
#man g.region            

to learn some more

the basic layout is
#g.region vect=(name) save=(name)

this will save region (save=)  based on the defined vector layer (vect=)
 then you change your default region to the one you just saved. est voila.

Now when you zoom, it will zoom based on your new region.

let me know if that does not work. In which case, be a little more 
specific with your question.

Cheers
