Comment (by mlennert):
Sorry, was a bit quick with my answer here: there was still the issue of
getting the region in a resolution in meters to be able to use it in
relation with the m.measure output.
I see two options:
* Declare the profiling tool unusable in lat-long and output an error
message in that case.
* Use g.region -m to get region resolution in meters. This would mean
something like this on line 239:
{{{
region = grass.parse_command('g.region', flags='m')
}}}
I'm not so sure about the meaning of this -m flag in g.region as a
constant resolution in degrees does not mean a constant resolution in
meters. So this does not seem correct. But then again, in this case it is
only used to get an idea of the step size for the profile, so this is not
much of a problem.
