[GRASS-user] Re: grass-user Digest, Vol 44, Issue 45

[Michael Barton]

If you are using a current version of GRASS (and current version of  
gdal if you are on Linux or Mac), run the location wizard to create a  
new location and mapset in the same projection as your problematic one  
(I'm assuming that you are not in an xy location). You get to the  
location wizard from the "create location" button on the startup screen.

Select the new location and mapset and start GRASS.

Try 'display region' from the configure menu or type g.region -p from  
the command line.

Do you have any different results?
