[GRASS-user] new user setting up a new mapset/project

[ivan marchesini]

hi

> So when I set up the project, which coord should I use?

You must create two location: the first one UTM WGS84 and the second one
long/lat WGS84

you import your long/lat data into the proper location and then you can
use v.proj or r.proj to reproject them into the UTM WGS84 location

another solution is to use gdalwarp or ogr2ogr.... but could be hard if
you are just starting to learn foss4g softwares..

grass imports tiff files...
 you must use the --o option (override projection) to import data with
r.in.gdall

hope this helps...
