[GRASS-user] Organizing data over extensive areas

[Rich Shepard]

I imported an OpenFileGDB containing the distributions of 14 species and
runs of fish in the Columbia River Basin. Because one species has a
different CRS than the others each layer needed to be separately imported
into separate locations. This is inefficient and I would like to gather them
in a directory, perhaps named 'fishes.'

The issue is that collectively, the distributions cover most of Washington
and Oregon along with bits of Canada, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and California
(drainage basin extents). So a projection covering all these areas will be
different from the standard projections used by each state and British
Columbia.

Is there a way to put a collection of locations in a single subdirectory,
e.g., /data/grassdata/fishes/ and have grass know how to find them?

TIA,

Rich
