[GRASS-user] Converting from xy location to latlong projection

[Darren Slevin]

Hi,
I imported the Global Land Cover Characteristics database v2.0, but  
cannot get it to have a latlon projection. By using the Force Lat/Lon  
maps to fit into geographic coordinates option, I keep getting the  
error: The '-l' flag only works in Lat/Lon locations.

I tried it without this option and I imported the dataset but with the  
XY location (unprojected) map projection. I would like to convert the  
xy location projection to latlon. Ive tried using the r.proj command,  
but it assumes that I already have a raster map with the latlon  
projection available. I also tried to do it through the Settings tab  
of the GUI, but wasnt successful. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
regards,
Darren
