[GRASS-user] GLOBCOVER import and manage

[Achim Kisseler]

Hi,

What you are trying to do is a "on-the-fly projection". GRASS does not 
do this, because that doesn't work properly (as I understand, but I 
don't know why).

What you have to do is to make another location with the different 
coordinate system and import your data there.

Then go to your location, you want to work with. Here you can use the 
tool v.proj or r.proj to import your vector or raster data.

Have a look at:

or

...keep on. Its worth!
