[GRASSLIST:168] Re: Question about re-projecting points imported from Postgres

[Thomas Adams]

David,

Yes, I had the LCC location created already. I've gone through this 
process many times, but never from data brought into GRASS via Postgres. 
Can it be that I missed a step after I imported the data using v.in.db 
into my lat-long location?
