[GRASS-user] Import / mapset problem

[Koen Hufkens]

Hi list,

I've got some issues with importing data into a mapset.

I have been working on data that I imported into GRASS without any  
problems up until today. I noticed that although I import everything  
into a x, y lattice with no geospatial reference data some of my  
recent files get other parameters and do not align with my previous  
ones.

All maps are tiff files with the same x, y size and should align  
perfectly however some have mapunits 2.4 (m? could be possible as this  
is roughly the spatial resolution of the image) others have mapunits  
1. Futhermore, the older data seems to have been in some kind of  
projection as the cursor values display not the expected x y range  
corresponding to the number of pixels in the image. I suspect that  
this difference is the cause of my problems.

However, I do use r.in.gdal with the overwrite protection settings so  
normally everything should have been imported without spatial  
reference data that could be embedded in the (geo)tiff header, or am I  
mistaken.

Any ideas why my first files still have some spatial reference data  
embedded even after explicitly saying not to use them at import? Any  
solutions to get rid of unwanted geotiff headers?

Kind regards,
Koen
