Addition of two maps

Here is the situation:

  I have two maps that have an overlapping area. I would like to
add the two maps together and use only one map for the overlapping

area. If I use r.mapcalc and preform an addition function it

will add that overlapping area.

How can I avoid this situation?

Thanks for any help.

If I understand you correctly, the following should work:

  newmap = if(map_a,map_a,map_b)

assuming that map_a is the one you want to use in the overlapping area.
