[GRASS-user] Copy an existing location

[Bartolomei.Chris]

Hi Janet ... I was just thinking about the suggestion I sent ... you may be better off exporting the rasters and then having the user import them into a like-named mapset with the projection set to what the original rasters are in (and set the region and resolution correctly prior to import). The reason I say this is the file compression I suggested may cause some data loss ... look into lossless data compression algorithms and you'll see what I'm talking about.
It may be irrelevent, but I'm not 100% sure... something to be aware of though.

Subject: [GRASS-user] Copy an existing location

Hello GRASS community,
Does anyone have advice on duplicating an existing GRASS location with only certain rasters maps?
For example, I have an existing GRASS location with a PERMANENT mapset that contains 100 maps. I want to create a copy of this existing location (with it's current projection) to a new location, which will only contain 10 of the rater maps from the existing location.
I want to be able to transfer a new 'cleaned-up' version of my GRASS location to another user.
thank you,
Janet
