The GUI has its own set of region settings, so you need to change the
region from within the GUI to affect how a map is displayed within the
GUI.

Or you can explicitly resample the map with r.resamp, r.resamp.interp,
or r.resamp.stats, then display the resampled map in the GUI.

Which version of GRASS are you using? r.resamp.interp and
r.resamp.stats aren't present in 6.2.3, only in 6.3.x.

You can view the resampled maps in the GUI, or with d.rast.

Explicitly resampling the data will create a new map.

Data is normally imported into the current location, unless you
explicitly import into a new location with e.g. r.in.gdal's location=
option.

If the rasters have different projections, you will need to import
each one into a separate location, then switch to the target location
and re-project the data with r.proj.
